"My motherland: The place where I live" by Olia Adamishyn ( 9 form)

  I live in the beautiful village of Vysypivtsi which was founded in 1785. Our village is small, nevertheless, I love it very much. Here you can see a variety of exciting landscapes which are beautiful in any season. In the middle of the village flows  the river  Nesterika. Buildings are located on its both banks. There is a small forest on the hill nearby. If you climb the hill you can see the whole village, at a glance, with breathtaking colorful scenery.

  

In Vysypivtsi there is a beautiful church  which all people attend. Our church was founded in 1867 in honor of St. Paraskeva. The village community tries our church to be the jewel and all dwellers are proud of it. We also have a school, a club and a shop.

   There are many springs with very clean and tasty water. There’s a legend that the first man who settled here chose this place because of delicious water. This small spring remains to these days and the water in it is as good as ever.Often the travellers stop to drink our  water and take it to their homes.

   People in our village are kind, generous and hard-working.  They love the land like their forefathers did. They take care of fertile soil and it pays back in plentiful harvests. We are not just good neighbours, we are close friends who support each other and help in difficult times. My villagers are sincere and honest, they disgust lies and strive for truth.

  My village is a great place to live in because you will never feel lonely here. Everyone is a part of a big and friendly community. People here do care about their spiritual health and care for those who are near them.

   I believe that our village will continue to evolve, grow and prosper because we all work for its future!
