Little wishes in big hearts! - My birthday is coming up, too! - said little Katya (a child from the orphanage), while at her friends' birthday party. - And what would you like to get as a present?

We always prepare for this trip in advance (especially morally). When we look at the children there is an overwhelming sadness. This orphanage is home for all of them forever.
Here there is no line of potential adopters, and in a chamber of mercy, where lying children, practically silence. Here it would seem time, has stopped and it does not matter what program we have brought and how many gifts we have prepared.

And the repairs we have made do not seem enough, and no candy is not enough to dull the pain, which is frozen in the eyes of these children.... these eyes pierce through..... want to run away and do something. But alas, for many of them there is nothing that can be done. Unfortunately, no matter how hard we try, we can't give them the most important thing - health and family.
We want to express our deep and sincere gratitude to the management of "Avoska" for their responsiveness and generosity!
For the children of the Shakhtyorsk orphanage - boarding school our friends bought necessary expensive mobile six lamp quarts, 12 lamps to them, household and kitchen appliances. We also thank the Solzhenitsyns family for their help with nebulizers and hygiene products for the children.
