Together with the families of these children, we recognize Michael\u2019s civic commitment and the humanist principles he upholds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The children helped with this program are evacuated from frontline regions or returned from occupied territories\u2014many having lost their homes, their sense of safety, and, in some cases, one or both parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReceiving this honor from the Kyiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry is humbling and meaningful,\u201d expressed Michael Hutchison, inGroup CEO and Co-Founder. \u201cThe courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people, especially the children who have endured so much, continue to inspire me every day. I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity to support the <em>Stand with Ukraine<\/em> foundation and work alongside so many dedicated individuals helping restore hope, healing, and a sense of possibility for these children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond financial support Mr. Hutchison has traveled twice to Ukraine to visit the children&#8217;s rehabilitation camp. During these visits, he spent meaningful time with the children, participating in therapeutic activities and workshops, engaging in creative and recreational programs, and sharing moments of connection designed to foster healing, hope, and resilience.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>About inGroup International and inCruises<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>inCruises<\/em> is a division of <em>inGroup International<\/em> and the world\u2019s largest subscription-based travel club.
