00:11  those children who live in the conflict

00:13  areas right now they see shelling on the

00:16  daily base and they have anxiety and

00:18  they don't know what's going to be

00:19  tomorrow so they really need these kind

00:22  of activities in order to cope with this

00:24  stress that they're faced in to build

00:27  resilience and most importantly to build

00:30  life skills so they can manage

00:32  themselves with the environment and with

00:35  the challenges that they have to face

00:36  from day to day

00:44  the rules were so easy and so

00:47  understandable for everyone and you

00:49  don't need to have any special skills in

00:52  order to play this we started from the

00:54  children but then the families their

00:56  parents and grandparents joins in order

00:58  to have more fun and more engagement and

01:00  more relief for the children

01:17  in the 2014 I was working in the

01:20  professional hockey team in Ukraine from

01:23  there I was honored to come to the dcmp

01:25  program organized by US State Department

01:28  and University of Tennessee and I was

01:30  really honored to be mentored by Susan

01:33  Coyle I learned so much from her and

01:35  from her colleagues and her team in

01:38  order to develop this project and see

01:40  the whole power of the sport

01:47  I got so much empowerment and the

01:52  knowledge how the sport can be used for

01:54  the peacebuilding I'm so happy to be a

01:57  part of the CMP and to be mentored at

02:00  NHL without this project without this

02:03  experience I don't think that I will be

02:05  where I am now
