organization of life and work in the <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=36\">Community <\/a>of homeless people. This is a group of people who live and work together, have a common household, solve their life problems and help those who are more poor.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>In 2014 40 companions lived in the Community, 3 children among them. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the community people get a psychological support, a referral to a medical check-up, pocket money, help in re-issue of lost documents, participate in cultural events, are also actively involved in solidarity actions, help others. New\u2013comers participate in social trainings \u2013 three months courses that include addiction therapy, personal development trainings, history of Emmaus movement. These afternoon trainings are run by a psychologist and a social worker, and occur every day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Every day we collect with the truck furniture, clothes, household appliances of the organization respondings to the calls of Lviv inhabitants who donate goods. Later these things are renovated and sold in a charity shop or are given out to low-income persons, homeless people in the Social support center, emigres.\u00a0In this way \u201cOselya\u201d also tries to show the public that things unnecessary for them can help others, instead of being thrown away as a trash. The organization also provide transport service for citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To spread the information about collecting goods, we place a social advertisement which appears on city bill boards at times. The Lviv city council produces and places a social advertisement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To make the collecting of goods more efficient and for comfort of Lviv inhabitants, we put 6 containers for clothes, shoes and books, first in the city. We put containers due to the financial support of Henry Nouwen Foundation, the company \u201cEco &#8211; Lviv\u201d became a producer. In 2014 we put another 4 containers. This initiative isn\u2019t only social but also ecological \u2013 things owners don\u2019t need them don\u2019t get to a waste deposit but are sorted carefully. Even unsuitable for use things \u2013 torn or dirty clothes, damaged books are re-used \u2013 we give them for utilization, and special companies produce felt, padding polyester and different fillers of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=74\">The charity shop<\/a> is one of Oselya activities. Here we sell goods Lviv inhabitants give away. The shop is a main source of the Community incomes and also one of the main sources for solidarity actions. To attract more customers to the charity shop we produced and placed advertisements on posts in Vynnyky.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In March 2014 the shop was removed to the bigger place in I. Franko str, 53a. The bigger place and better conditions attracted more customers to the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=25\">Furniture workshop<\/a> is one of the main activities of Oselya. The workshop is a center of work therapy, education, as well as a source of income for the community.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 2014 seven companions studied and worked in the workshop. They had an opportunity to get skills on furniture renovation, upholstery, sewing.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Citizens of Lviv know about our activity and give their furniture for renovation, giving donations for our work.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Somebody gives away used furniture and household equipment which we renovate and sell in the charity shop. We also present another services such as furniture delivery, a visit of a craftsman to a client, consulting about choice of fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To improve our work, the Nestle bought 2 compressors, 2 buffing machines, 3 guns, a screwdriver and other instruments.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This year we increased the quality and volume of work. We began to produce furniture from elements of old furniture (kitchen sets, corner sets from old wardrobes).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This year we continued to run Kofoed&#8217;s social support center. Homeless people who live outside and poor inhabitants of the city come here to take shower, do laundry, get food, and haircut every day. <strong>Generally in 2014 we had almost 5 000 visits\u00a0from more than 300 persons (20-35 persons come to the Center every day).<\/strong> The running expenses of the Center, as well as street work were supported by Kofoed\u2019s School, \u201cEmmaus Europe\u201d and the Social services office of Lviv municipality. A private company \u201cMatvol\u201d cooks a soup for our Center every day.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some homeless people who came to the Center now live in Oselya.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Solidarity with poor people is one of the main values of the Community. Every Thursday the Community cooks dinner for a <strong>hundred of homeless people<\/strong> and <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=49\">distributes<\/a> in the downtown. While distributing food we invite people to use services of the Social support center, give information about other places where they can get help.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>In<\/strong><strong> 2014 <\/strong><strong>we did food distributions more<\/strong> <strong>than<\/strong><strong> 50 <\/strong><strong>times<\/strong><strong>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In winter period, during extreme cold weather the Community does another street work \u2013 every day companions, workers and volunteers of the organization went (35 times) to the downtown, stations and other places where they can find homeless people to distribute clothes, food, and take them to social or medical institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>For <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=999\">Christmas and Easter<\/a> <\/strong> <strong>a<\/strong> <strong>year<\/strong> <strong>the<\/strong> <strong>Community<\/strong> <strong>organizes<\/strong> <strong>a<\/strong> <strong>big<\/strong> <strong>holiday<\/strong> <strong>celebration<\/strong> <strong>for<\/strong> <strong>about<\/strong> <strong>four<\/strong> <strong>hundreds<\/strong> <strong>poor<\/strong> <strong>people<\/strong> to share a holiday joy with them.

And here they can support\u00a0 Oselya\u2019s activity buying things which are renovated in the workshop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The workshop cooperates with other public organizations of the city. Here people can buy products of the workshop \u201cLyarsh &#8211; Kovcheg\u201d and the rehabilitation centre \u201cPreobrazhennia\u201d, the donation foundation \u201cZaporuka\u201d and cookies by the Social bakery \u201cThe Nut House\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The workshop tries to involve visitors, volunteers and all people interested in our activity. This year we organized workshops on felting finery, artistic painting on clothes, handmade notebooks. The film club \u201cGood Films\u201d was open at the Workshop. Every two weeks, in the evening, we invite visitors of the Workshop to watch movies. We also took part in the 9<sup>th<\/sup> Travelling International Festival of Documentary Films about human rights and demonstrated three documentaries and organized discussions. In November in the social hostel we opened the English course for children from low-income families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Volunteers and friends of the organization organized different interesting meetings and trainings in Oselya. In August inhabitants and workers of the NGO \u201cCommunity of mutual aid \u201cOselya\u201d organized the summer camp in the Carpathians.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In November volunteers of the organization \u201cThe New Acropolis\u201d organized the training on tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This year we were glad to host our friends and partners from Emmaus organizations from Innsbruck, Iasi (Romania), Lublin. We also hosted young people from Kramatorsk within the program of the cultural exchange \u201cEast-West\u201d, students of the program \u201cManagement of non-profit organizations\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 2014 we continued the project of <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=72\">street social and cultural magazine \u201cProsto neba\u201d<\/a>. It has two aims \u2013 to help the homeless to earn money and to provide social activity of the homeless, and to pay the public attention to the problem of homelessness. The magazine is supported by many famous journalists, writers and public persons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In 2014 we published 3 issues, 9,000 copies of each and involved 5 homeless vendors to selling it. The magazine is financed by International Emmaus Movement.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Traditionally the magazine was sold at the biggest book fair in Ukraine \u2013 the Book Forum in Lviv and was presented at the annual conference of the International Network of Street Magazines in Glasgow, Scotland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since November 2010 Oselya has cooperated with Lviv City Employment Center. They send people for paid public works in our organization.\u00a0In 2014 27 persons did public works (2 in April, 2 in May, 2 in June, 3 in July, 3 in August, 3 in September, 4 in October, 4 in November, 4 in December) worked in Oselya.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Human resources Lviv City Employment Center provides us with are very important for us because these projects aren\u2019t financed by the state, and because of important work we do all together to solve social problems of our city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The project &#8220;Developing lessons for the children&#8221; was supported by Ginger Foundation UCEF and directed at 2 children who are deprived of parental care and 3 half-orphans who live in Oselya. The project also involved 10 children from problem and incomplete families who live near the Community or the social hostel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Due to costs of the project a social worker teacher who helped the children to learn the school program was involved (lessons occurred 6 times a week). It helped the children to feel more assurance in school and to finish the year with good results. One of the children passed the exams to the College of Modeling and Design for a specialty \u201ca hairdresser and stylist\u201d successfully. The teacher organized excursions and tours to the Aqua park, theater, the lake etc. Also a worker who was paid by the Employment Bureau and Lviv municipality took part in the project. She helped to organize art lessons and workshops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In May 2014 we organized the education camp on the organization of Emmaus activity which included the following topics: \u201cValues of life in the community\u201d, \u201cSpirituality of Emmaus\u201d, \u201cCooperation and team activity in the community\u201d, \u201cDevelopment of Emmaus in Ukraine\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The camp took place in Berehy village, workers and inhabitants of the communities \u201cOselya\u201d and \u201cNasha Khata\u201d from Drohobych. In a family and friendly atmosphere we talked about Emmaus values, analyzed strong and weak points of our communities, made plans for future and checked our qualities as team members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the 6<sup>th<\/sup> of July, in the Museum of Ideas, we organized <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=1185\">the event \u201cLife in patchwork style\u201d<\/a> to review the functioning of clothes containers in Lviv, to share this result with Lviv inhabitants and thank them.\u00a0We prepared a special documentary to show the whole way of these things \u2013 from the moment they get to containers and to the moment they get new owners. After the presentation of the film we organized the theatrical fashion show. Unusual and exclusive clothes were chosen to be shown at the \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0456\u0443\u043c. The image theater \u201cPani Kurazh\u201d combined collections and theater performances which weren\u2019t concentrated only on clothes but also reflected the life and activity of the community and our participation in the life of Emmaus International Movement, creative workshops on artistic painting on clothes and decoupage of furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Companions, volunteers and friends of Oselya performed as real models, demonstrating how unnecessary things get new life. The various clothes connected different people because the symbol of the event was a patchwork \u2013 blankets we sew in our workshop from remains of upholstery fabrics. These small pieces sewn together create a strong\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">blanket and people who are united together for good deeds create a strong community.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=1167\">The Garage sale <\/a>was organized after the show. There people could buy clothes, shoes, books from containers, and French dishes from Emmaus communities.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At the sale we collected 8,500 hryvnias, and we gave 5,000 UAH from them to the community \u201cNasha Khata\u201d to buy a clothes container in Drohobych.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the 24-25<sup>th<\/sup> of October Oselya hosted friends and partners from Emmaus communities from Poland, Romania, France, Netherlands, Finland, and UK in Vynnyky. We talked, analyzed and planned next activity to help poor, homeless people and to develop activity which is directed at the re-using of used things.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Participants of the Collective visited the Charity shop \u201cEmmaus &#8211; Oselya\u201d, the Kofoed&#8217;s social support center, the social hostel and the Workshop of good deeds \u201cEmmaus &#8211; Oselya\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the eve of St Nicholas, <a href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=1002\">Saint Nicholas <\/a>visited food distribution which occurs every week near Porokhova Vezha.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Every year we ensure that Saint Nicholas comes to everybody \u2013 old and little, poor and needy people. Workers of Cargill (LLC Provimi) bought more than one hundred pairs of warm socks, students of the National Lviv Polytechnic University and volunteers of NGO \u201cVynnyky Golden Youth\u201d packed 180 presents (socks, scarves, mandarins, sweets) which were brought by Saint Nicholas to Porokhova Vezha.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In these times difficult for Ukraine our organization took part in the active support of Ukrainian soldiers and emigres from Donbass and the Autonomic Republic of the Crimea. In August we took part in the Patriotic charity fair in Vynnyky. We give warm work clothes to volunteers of the camp \u201cWe build Ukraine together\u201d who renovate destroyed houses in liberated territories. Every day emigres come to us, and we give them warm clothes, furniture, household items for free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Companions, workers and volunteers of Oselya take part in different events, spread the idea of the organization and enhance their own experience. This year two workers took part in the world\u2019s fair of Emmaus communities in Paris and in the education visit to Poznan within the international project \u201cThe support of democratic changes in Ukraine through the activation of the community in the organization of self-help\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Iryna Krokhmal, a national delegate of Ukraine in Emmaus, took part in weekly education for trainers. Its aim was to increase a promotion level for Emmaus ideas. And we took part in the seminar of Kofoed\u2019s school in Denmark, the social fair Garmyder in Lviv.

Oselya is a member of the Coordination Council on homelessness problems at the city and region councils. Students of social work of the National Lviv Polytechnic University and the Lviv High Vocational School of Informatics and Computer Technology did practical training in our organization. Traditionally local donators \u2013 private persons and enterprises \u2013 were involved in different actions.
