"After watching the news about Ukrainian children losing their homes, the boy asked his mom, "What can we do?" She responded, "Do good!"

At 11, he shows the world that generosity of spirit has no age," the head of the ministry wrote about Jens's desire to help Ukrainian children.

For two years now, nine-year-old Eric Dressler from the German town of Bonn has been actively raising funds to help Kherson.

When the full-scale invasion began, 10-year-old Mark, born and raised in Switzerland with a Ukrainian mother, couldn't stand by. He organized cooking marathons, raising 117,000 hryvnias for the Ukrainian military.

Six-year-old Ustym, from a village in the Lviv region, moved the entire nation by selling his beloved toy car collection, which he had built over four years, to purchase an FPV drone for the National Guard.
