As not all parents, especially in incomplete families, are able to provide the recreation for their kids, Religious Mission “Caritas-Spes”of Lutsk Diocese built on the bank of Lake Svitiaz the Recreation Centre for children from low-income families. At first, since 1997, children stayed in the simple tents on the lakeshore, soon at the outskirts of the village Pulmo a plot of land with a house was bought so the tents were located in the yard. The conditions were very simple – tents, mobile kitchen. Mass were celebrated in the open air. In the camp there were orphans from orphanages, children from incomplete and low-income families, children with special needs. They were looked after by teachers-volunteers and priests from Lutsk Diocese because as usual such kids require special attention and care.
Gradually the infrastructure of the camp improved: a new building was constructed, shower cabins were installed and stationary tents were put. A small sports ground was made, kitchen was equipped. But time dictated new conditions, that is why in 2007 Religious Mission “Caritas-Spes” made a decision to reconstruct (and actually to build a new camp).
Due to financial and construction-renovation help of charitable people a new building to live was constructed, modern toilets and bathrooms were installed, a kitchen and a dining-room were built and equipped with the modern equipment, a chapel was made. 28 June 2014 Center was sanctified by Ordinary of Kharkiv-Zaporizhia Diocese, President of “Caritas-Spes” of Ukraine and former Lutsk Administrator Stanislav Szyrokoradiuk and present Ordinary of Lutsk Diocese Vitalis Skomarowski. Now it is possible to host in the camp 50 children at a time.
