The city of Bolgrad hosted a family forum titled «Evening of Trust», organized by the charitable foundation «Gift». The event, attended by 115 participants from various parts of the Odesa region, was covered by a journalist from «Rayon.Bolgrad».

The main speaker was family policy expert Adrian Bukovynskyi from Kyiv, who discussed the importance of supporting and strengthening family relationships. Participants had the opportunity to ask anonymous questions related to their personal and family issues.

"A family needs constant effort in maintaining relationships. Without love, it becomes much harder to do this work. Love is the driving force of relationships throughout different stages of family life," emphasized Bukovynskyi during his lecture.

The forum took place in a friendly and informal atmosphere at the «Boomerang» restaurant, where participants could interact with the expert and enjoy a cultural program. The musical accompaniment was provided by the band «Another Life» from the village of Loshchynivka.

Organizers highlight that such events promote dialogue between families and the community, enhancing trust and mutual understanding within society.

"One of our main charitable activities is to support families during the war—emotionally, psychologically, and physically, including humanitarian aid. We believe that today’s event will help families in strengthening their relationships," said Svitlana Berbat, director of the «Gift» foundation.
