Anita Herczegh, wife of former president János Áder, visited children's homes in Transcarpathia on the anniversary of the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The Egy Vérből Vagyunk Foundation, of which Anita Herczegh is the main patron, has been supporting the Good Samaritan Reformed Children's Home in Nagydobron, which currently educates more than eighty orphaned girls, and the family-type Szent Mihály Children's Home in Rát, since its establishment in 2015. The founder of the foundation, Angéla Gui, also accompanied Anita Herczegh to the visit.

The residents of the orphanage in Nagydobrony welcomed Anita Herczegh with a festive program and joint crafts. After visiting the institution, she said that she had visited the orphanage regularly before. As he put it, "during the war, it is even more important that they feel that they are important to us, we do not forget them and we help whenever we can".

According to his words, "a child is even more at the mercy of this chaotic time, it is difficult for him to understand what is around him". That's why we need holidays, "occasions to show how good they are, how beautifully they can sing and dance".

The smooth operation of the children's home in Nagydobrony is thanks to the support of the foundations in the motherland, underlined director Andrea Katkó. He reminded that Anita Herczegh and Angéla Gui, the founders of the Egy Vérből Vagyunk Foundation, visit the children almost as team members, which "goes beyond the foundation's help, because they can identify with us, they can accept us", and - as he put it - "this the perfect love”.

In the afternoon, the guests visited the Szent Mihály Children's Home in the Rát village near Ungvár, where the four families living there adopted 25 children. Thanks to significant Hungarian subsidies, major improvements are being made: the apartment buildings have been renovated, the construction and equipment of the rehabilitation center has been completed.

Anita Herczegh explained that

in the family-type children's home, you can really feel that "we are of the same blood", and he promised further support to both the people living there and the Ukrainian people fleeing the war.

Angéla Gui said: there was no question that they would visit Transcarpathia even on the one-year anniversary of the outbreak of the war, despite the fact that everyone was afraid. "Being here gives the kids a sense of security," he said.
