‘Child with Future’ Foundation invites children and parents, all those concerned with autism, the media, and public organizations, visitors of the capital, and art lovers to join the cosmic beauty of the distant planet and inspire all the Ukrainian children to create and artistically express themselves, be free to demonstrate their talents and make our world more beautiful, open and tolerant.
Ukraine got to know about this unusual boy in summer 2020 thanks to ‘Child with Future’ Foundation. Max participated in the presentation of the Ukrainian translation of Henri Bochot’s book “Blue Boy” within one of the projects of ‘Child with Future’ Foundation.
Maxim does well at school and is really deeply interested in science for his age. Actively leads his own group on FB – “Кosmo-Max”, where he publishes various interesting things from the world of astronomy and physics. It is also a platform for all the pictures he drew, which have already received high marks from the expert environment of the Ukrainian capital.
In the future, Maxim sees himself as an astrophysicist, wants to have his own telescope and the opportunity to contemplate the starry sky with his friends from the shores of the Azov Sea. And Maksim’s cherished dream for several years in a row is to meet with Ilon Musk, who is an example in his life, and to see the launch of a spaceship with his own eyes.
