Updates from Lena

Thank you so much for your understanding, help and support. I feel how much you care about the children who need love a lot. It is nice that the children can learn a lot about people who live so far away, whose country differs from Russia.

During this past summer, the kids as well as their caregivers participated in the contest that took place in Kirov Children’s Crafts Centre. There were participants from various orphanages in Kirov Region. The first contest “Next to the Master” involved either boys or girls (or altogether) with their caregivers who taught them different crafts (e. g., woodwork, knitting, sewing, etc.). Ilya N., Tolia N., Sergey V., Gena P. and their instructor Vadim A. introduced themselves (they sang songs and recited poems about the orphanage and the crafts it is noted for). Later on they showed how talented they are and displayed their marvelous crafts.

The girls took part in another contest called “Constellation” which means children’s singing and dancing abilities. A group of girls who are good at singing participated a lot. Among them there were Lena Z., Nastya G., Olya V., Olya P., and Lena M.. Among the children who were there were Sergey N., Oksana G., and Katya M. Some caregivers joined them for support.

God bless you!
