United to win: Swiss young chef launches “Invincible Dumplings” culinary marathon for children to support Ukraine

Seven children from different cities of the world will prepare unique dumplings. Access to their video recipes will be available through a donation. This is the third culinary marathon by Mark Dzialak, which aims to collect 50,000 hryvnias. The past two marathons raised over 120,000 hryvnias, which volunteers used to buy drones and organize artistic workshops for children whose families were displaced due to war.

Earlier, Rubryka wrote an article about the young chef Mark.

What is the problem?

During the second year of the full-scale war, there was a decline in donations to Ukraine's armed forces, as seen through posts on social media by volunteers. However, the demands placed on soldiers continue to increase.

What is the solution?

Various activities, projects, and initiatives are being organized to generate funds for the needs of Ukraine's armed forces, such as charity auctions, native services, and selling belongings. Mark Dzialak, a young chef from Switzerland, also began a unique fundraising marathon.

"For the third time, I am organizing the charity culinary marathon "Invincible Dumplings," my young friends and I will once again make dumplings for Ukraine's armed forces. The marathon will start in a few days," Mark Dzialak wrote in a post on Instagram.

How does it work?

Children will prepare dumplings with various fillings on their own; seven video recipes have already been recorded. We will not reveal all the dishes, but there are unusual dumplings – with pumpkin, cumin, and broth. The marathon will run for two weeks; participants will receive these instructional videos. As a bonus, they'll also access the recipes from Mark Dzialak's previous two marathons.

Participants who will prepare dumplings (except Mark):

• 11-year-old Yehor Cherevan (Kyiv/Krakow),
• 17-year-old Sonia Landa (Lviv/Leipzig), 12-year-old Marko Sich (Novomaiske, Dnipro),
• 15-year-old Roni-Viel Hasin (Kyiv),
• Sasha and Nika Petruchenko (ages 7 and 12, Irpin).
