Thanks to the support of Siemens Caring Hands e.V<\/strong>., 30 children from Lutsk<\/strong> were able to travel to Saxony for two weeks this year. Disaster relief is not just about providing immediate supplies of food, accommodation or medical aid; it also means helping people to regain their strength. For children in particular, a sense of security and community, and carefree experiences, can play a vital role in helping them to cope with the consequences of war and crises. During those two weeks, therefore, the focus was not on news of the war, but on providing a safe environment in which to play, have fun and make new friends.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The children in Saxony were in for two action-packed weeks full of new encounters. From canoeing and visiting Leipzig Zoo to swimming at the Schildau lido, they gained lots of new experiences and created shared memories. A particular highlight was the visit to the Siemens plant in Leipzig. There, the children were able to go behind the scenes and get hands-on. With the help of Siemens colleagues, they built simple electrical circuits and made their own creations light up. This visit demonstrated impressively how technology can spark curiosity and bring people together. The children were also looking forward to the trip to Berlin, where Siemens colleagues had organised an excursion including a visit to the Reichstag and a city tour. The children also had a special experience at the end of the holiday: as part of a circus workshop, they had rehearsed short performances. They practised, laughed and experimented with great enthusiasm. At the grand closing party, they showcased their skills in front of around 60 guests. From acrobatics to magic tricks, the young performers proudly demonstrated what they had learnt. The performance was a moving finale, showing just how much their curiosity, courage and self-confidence had grown over the two weeks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The holiday camp is a striking example of what can be achieved when many people work together. Every activity, every outing and every shared meal was made possible by people who contributed their time, energy and dedication. As Siemens Caring Hands e.V. was founded on the commitment of Siemens employees, it is particularly rewarding to support this project, driven by so many volunteers, as it embodies solidarity, compassion and practical assistance. Year after year, Siemens employees volunteer to help organise and run the holiday camp. They accompany excursions, assist with childcare, translate, coordinate, and provide support wherever needed. Together, they have provided the children with not only a varied holiday programme, but also a place where they can experience security, community and carefree fun for two weeks.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/siemens-caring-hands.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/large_preview-2.webp\")
