A special mother




A photo exhibition dedicated to mothers of inclusive children is being held in Kyiv - "Special Mother" The

exposition is organized by the Society of Special Families "We are together!"
Ten heroines, ten stories of strong, brave and loving women who manage to be happy, socially active and successful, despite the difficult diagnoses of their children: autism, Down syndrome and rare forms of genetic diseases.

Photographer Olga Latiy portrayed women in two opposite roles: everyday, as the mother of a special child, and luxurious - in an evening outfit with unsurpassed makeup.

Each photo story contains a special mother’s story about the way to accept a child with a disability, about pain and disappointment, boundless love and self-improvement.

This photo exhibition shows that the mothers of special children are beautiful, successful, cheerful, active women. The event will be especially useful for those mothers who have just learned the diagnosis of their child. The photo exhibition was created to inform people that after the child’s diagnosis, life does not end, but another, difficult, but no less happy life begins. After all, the basis of a happy life of a special mother is a positive perception of the world and the great power of maternal love.

Photo exhibition, will last until June 11, at the Museum of History of Kiev . You can visit the exhibition from 11:00 to 19:00 at st. Bogdan Khmelnitsky, 7 ( metro station "Theater" ). Admission is free.
