Three families received social grants; one of the families lives in Novohrad-Volynskyi and brings up seven children. The second family resides in Yemilchyno village and raises five children, and lives almost at the cost of their own household. The third family lives in Horodyshche village of Novohrad-Volynskyi district and has eight children.
Awarding grants, V. Lytvyn expressed hope that first laureates will become “good pioneers” in the cause of developing their homeland. “We will initiate support of talents, as geniuses are born in province and we need to support them,” said V. Lytvyn. He stressed one more time that the world is now facing the necessity to search new forms of arrangement, fight for resources, and bringing the world to civilized standards. But the basis for everything will be the quality of education.
