life and work of the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=36\">Community<\/a>&nbsp;of former homeless people. By living and working together companions learn to solve their problems and help other people in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout 2020 we had 47 companions living in the Community. In Oselya, companions are provided with psychological support, they receive new professional and social skills, participate in cultural events and solidarity actions. Companions can be sent for medical treatment if needed, they receive pocket money and get help with renewing their documents. Newcomers have 3 months social training that include addiction therapy, personal development training and history of Emmaus movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">When the quarantine started on March\n12, there were 25 people living in the community, but we converted some common\nareas into bedrooms and welcomed 5 more people who wanted to stay with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">To earn the money needed to support the community, the companions of Oselya not only did their usual work (collecting used goods, sorting, repairing furniture, etc.), but also took on any new job: seven companions were hired by Vynnyky municipality as street cleaners, and some companions did gardening in private households. The money earned were used for the whole community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The companions\nrisked to be infected with COVID-19 and had to overcome the fear of an\nuncertain threat in a crisis situation; trying to survive social distance\nthrough mutual care and active listening to those who are usually deprived of\nthe opportunity to speak. Due to compliance with all quarantine measures and\nsanitary requirements, not a single companion or employee of Oselya got COVID-19,\nalthough they were exposed to danger during street work and at providing\nservice at Social support center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">During\nthe pandemic, we became the voice of homeless people left alone on the empty\nstreets of the city. We acted as experts in working with the homeless, defended\ntheir rights, united the local community in order to support homeless people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the financial difficulties during the quarantine, we managed to keep stability in the community and and kept carrying out our actions of solidarity with the homeless (food distribution, sanitation, information about COVID-19, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In order to generate funds for everyday needs of the community and solidarity actions, Oselya runs social enterprise.<br>The main activity of this enterprise is&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=963\">collecting goods<\/a>&nbsp;which people no longer need, but that can still be used by others (furniture, clothing, household items, toys etc.).&nbsp;We pick up goods in the city with two trucks responding to the citizens\u2019 calls. We also collect goods from containers located near churches and OKKO gas stations.&nbsp;In 2020 with the support of \u201cConcern Halnaftohaz\u201d (OKKO gas stations) we have installed additional 2 containers and by the end of the year we had 30 containers in Lviv city. We still have a problem with people who steal and damage our containers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Through the network of containers, we have collected 1 220 tons of clothing and other goods in 2020.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">95 tons of collected goods cannot be reused or recycled (broken toys, torn pursues, torn and dirty clothing, regular trash). That is a lot of trash that people donate. Lviv city administration helps us to transport this trash to the dumpsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The companions and volunteers sort and repair collected goods and sell them in the charity stores or distribute among poor and homeless people. In 2020 we provided 779 families received clothing and shoes for free in our charity store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">We also shared collected goods with other organizations like Charity Foundation &#8220;Starosambirshchyna&#8221;, NGO &#8220;Healthy Future&#8221;, Municipal night shelter, Lviv City Center for Social Services for Children and Youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">During the year, we had 3,568 clothing and shoes give-outs in Social Support Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"397\" src=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/recycle-2020-eng-1024x397.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1526\" style=\"width:776px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/recycle-2020-eng-1024x397.png 1024w, http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/recycle-2020-eng-300x116.png 300w, http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/recycle-2020-eng-768x298.png 768w, http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/recycle-2020-eng-1536x595.png 1536w, http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/recycle-2020-eng.png 1998w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=74\">Charity shops<\/a>&nbsp;bring the main income to community and help us fund solidarity actions.  We position our shop as a cultural center, not just a place where you can buy second-hand things. For many years we have been periodically organizing various master classes, literary evenings and other events for our clients and residents of Vynnyk. However, due to quarantine restrictions this year, they were unable to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">During lockdown in the spring 2020, our shops were closed. We had to think of alternative income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Through lockdown, we switched charities to online on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In September, a charity sale was held in favor of the Emmaus  International  Movement and their global solidarity projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020 we continued to run the <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=25\">furniture workshop<\/a>. 7 companions of the worked there. They gained skills in furniture repair, upholstery, sewing and 268 pieces of furniture. The furniture was repaired by order of Lviv and Vynnyk residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, the Center continued to operate, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and strict quarantine restrictions, we were forced to make changes to its work schedule. Ensuring social distance in the provision of services proved to be a great difficulty and for that we had to adjust the schedule. About 50 people in need received services at the Center twice a week (Tuesday and Friday). In total, in 2020, 743 people received services in the Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In the <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=53\">Center<\/a> during the pandemic, homeless people: 1. received consultations from a social worker and information about the pandemic; 2. were provided with the necessary means of hygiene; 3. received hot meals 4. were provided with the necessary clothes and shoes 5. received sanitary and hygienic services (shower, haircut, laundry) 6. received medical care. The operation of the Center and street work were carried out thanks to the earnings of the Community, donations from philanthropists and with the support of the Emmaus International Movement, the Department of Social Protection and Department of Economic Development of the Lviv city Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/social-2020-eng-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1515\" style=\"width:647px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/social-2020-eng-1024x576.png 1024w, http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/social-2020-eng-300x169.png 300w, http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/social-2020-eng-768x432.png 768w, http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/social-2020-eng-1536x864.png 1536w, http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/social-2020-eng.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, in the <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=1109\">social hostel<\/a> of &#8220;Oselya&#8221;, there were 14 adults residents and 4 children. 10 of the adult residents are former companions of the Community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">There is a <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=1106\">Workshop of Good Deeds &#8220;Emmaus &#8211; Oselya&#8221;<\/a> in the same premises, which raises funds for the maintenance of the dormitory and solidarity actions. This is another place where city residents can practice good deeds and share their goods that they no longer need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning of 2020, every Thursday, the Community prepared lunch for hundreds of homeless people and distributed it at 2 pm in the center of Lviv. During the quarantine, the number of the homeless and people in need increased rapidly due to job loss, general impoverishment of vulnerable groups in Lviv. At the height of the pandemic, many community initiatives to distribute food were suspended and this increased the number of people that we serve. We handed out more than 500 meals every Thursday. It was a great difficulty to ensure social distance during lunch, but we learned how to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">During street work, we invite people to use the services of Social Support Center, we inform about the symptoms of COVID-19 and ways of spreading, we distribute hygiene products, tell about other places to help homeless people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">This year, Anna Kostyuk from Lviv has launched a wonderful initiative: to celebrate special life events by purchasing food for our Thursday food distribution in the city center. Other people followed her example and during 2020, 34 people financed one food distribution each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">On December 17, 2020, St. Nicholas visited the homeless with volunteers and distributed 250 gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, at the Lviv Palace of Arts, we organized Christmas Eve for about 500 homeless and poor people. Theatrical action and delicious traditional cuisine helped our guests feel the atmosphere of celebration and family warmth. Private companies and individual donors helped us to organize the events by donating food and funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Due to quarantine restrictions, we could not invite people to have meal in the building for Easter. However, we managed to organize 300 Easter packages with traditional dishes and distribute them on April 16 in downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Since its very beginning Oselya has been developing partnership with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=1269\">Emmaus movement.<\/a>&nbsp;In 2010 Oselya became a member of the movement. We participate in Ukraine \u2013 Poland Collective meetings and Regional Councils of Emmaus Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Companions and employees of Oselya work on their professional development and actively participate in trainings, spread Emmaus idea and enrich their own experience. This year, the companions of the Community have formed a new football team and have training twice a month. The companions made a trip to Transcarpathia region, explored the outskirts of Lviv, and celebrated the 18th anniversary of &#8220;Oselya&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019 we started construction works of The recycling center. It will help us to improve our sorting process and storage of goods. And that will improve the service for poor people and better care for the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The pandemic significantly slowed down construction works. During 2020, the walls of the building were erected and the roof was covered. Windows and doors are installed. Interior works, landscaping and access road need to be done. We are actively looking for funds to complete the project and put the building into operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The project is supported by Emmaus Europe, Emmaus International, Emmaus Haarzuilens and the Wild Geese Foundation, Emmaus Helsinki and private philanthropists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"> 3,728,230.36 UAH were spent for construction works in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Oselya continued its active cooperation with Ukrainian and foreign organizations. We have implemented a number of projects, including the Soup Kitchen project &#8211; Charitable Kitchen 2020 supported by Lviv Educational Foundation, &#8220;Quarantine without a home&#8221;: information, support, food, hygiene for the homeless, supported by the International Renaissance Foundation, the project &#8220;Homecoming&#8221; with the support of the Department of Social Affairs of the Lviv City Council, &#8220;Urgent provision in connection with COVID-19&#8221; supported by Emmaus International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">During the year, many media platforms were interested in the activities of &#8220;Oselya&#8221;, as we became experts in helping the homeless and poor people during the pandemic and quarantine. More than 25 different publications, radio and TV programs about Oselya&#8217;s work were produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">A representative of Oselia took part, as an expert, in the Living Library event as part of the Docudays UA International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Our Community was depicted in art project &#8220;History of Social Immunity&#8221;, which aimed to share life experiences of individuals and community initiatives to strengthen Ukrainian social immunity during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">We participated in a study by the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine on the human rights situation of homeless people during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">We participated in the discussion &#8220;Environmental social work: justice through responsibility&#8221; at the forum &#8220;Hear the cry of the earth: integrated ecology in action&#8221; in the 13th Ecumenical Social Week (09.10.2020), because our community has been restoring social justice for many years, inviting city \u200b\u200bresidents to be responsible, to take care of others and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In the first half of the year, students of the UCU Social Pedagogy \/ Social Work Program practiced in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">This year Oselya took part in the project of the SENSE City Institute &#8211; a series about existing social enterprises in Lviv. The result of the participation was a video about our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">On October 27-28, 2020, the online premiere of the documentary film \u201cNot alone\u201d took place, which became one of the winners of the twelfth competitive selection of the State Agency of Ukraine for Cinema and was shot in our Community last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STORIES OF FORMER COMPANIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Maksym Saxon (19 years old) lived in Oselya for 10 years.
