‘I want to sew military clothes’ – Kira B.
We continue to publish stories and dreams of children as part of the ‘Successful Start’ project.
17-year-old Kira B., a student of the Professional College of Technology and Design specialising in tailoring is our next participant.
Here is her story:
‘My childhood seemed to be carefree for me: peaceful sky, beautiful country, special nature and most of all – people with good hearts who surrounded me. I grew up in safety and love. When I was at school I realised that I wanted to spend my future doing good for my country.
On 24 February 2022 I started thinking about how I could help.
After graduating from the 9th grade I decided that I wanted to become a tailor and based on my thoughts and observations, I had a wonderful dream I want to make come true! Nowadays there is an urgent problem – the comfort of clothing for the military. A lot of tactical clothing for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is uncomfortable, not functional and the fabric itself is of poor quality. Women’s military clothing is especially challenging. Women need the right size and fit of trousers, jackets and uniforms.
My dream is to produce comfortable military clothing.
After college I want to enter a higher education institution and continue to improve my knowledge. Perhaps in the future I will open my own business – an atelier or a mini tailoring factory.
I believe that the realisation of my dream will bring many benefits to our defenders. I hope it will result in a faster Victory!’
Kira has some hearing impairments but despite her disability, she actively participates in the production of adaptive underwear for wounded soldiers at the Vocational College of Technology and Design.
Kira’s mother is raising the daughter on her own.
We sincerely wish that all dreams and creative projects come true!
