"Governmental courier" told about the School of Superheroes
23.11.2022
"Governmental courier" is a daily publication of the central executive authorities of Ukraine, which recently published an interview with Yevheniia Smirnova, the inspirer, founder and acting director of the state institution "School of Superheroes". "Every Ukrainian will remember February 24, 2022 for the rest of his life, and I also saw the reaction of our team, we were scared and confused, like the whole country. It seemed that these seven years we were doing something wrong, we had to go to the shooting range and learn to shoot, and we were engaged in education in children's hospitals and helped children with HIV / AIDS and cancer.
Thanks to international partners, in the first weeks of the war we started evacuating children abroad, because in Ukraine it was difficult and extremely dangerous to provide highly qualified medical care. Days passed, the wards of the "School of Superheroes" left the country, and we did not understand how to work and where to go. But this state did not last long - a girl from the occupied Mariupol was brought to Okhmatdyt for treatment. Her story makes the blood run cold - she survived the hell of shelling and the loss of a loved one who died in her arms. And the first wish that Karina voiced to the psychologists of the hospital is that she wants to continue studying and prepare for the External Independent Testing in mathematics. At one point, the child mobilized our entire team and the "School of Superheroes" resumed the educational process first in "Okhmatdyt", and then in other hospitals. Our school now not only teaches children, but is the first link of rehabilitation from the psychological trauma of war", - the first thing Yevhenia says.
