Hands”) enlisted the support of fellow dog lovers and volunteers; together they set up a shelter providing post-operative rehabilitation for street dogs some dogs return to wherever they came from and some find new owners Other dogs — usually those who narrowly escaped death — reside permanently at the shelter — Everyone’s been dreaming about an animal shelter There’s absolutely no doubt that people here care about dogs we found homes for almost 100 puppies and adult dogs we have a dog from the school — they called and asked us to take her away and put her down Because she had sores — it was some kind of disease some kids came on a school trip from that same school Alyona introduced us to some of Pereyaslav’s community leaders: committed activists who for several years have been leading socio-cultural projects with the local youth One such group is the community organisation Jam Toloka which continues to provide support to those who love music — I’ve been involved in social projects for the last six years and today we have around 20 active residents — members of public organisations Pereyaslav-Khmelnytskyi’s music industry began to develop in response to the appearance of more and more local bands — This city really is an inspiration — it has a unique atmosphere that you can’t find in many places In Pereyaslav you can keep on developing your creative potential
