DONETSK SPECIALIZED CHILD CARE CENTER
Several institutions, which throughout the war never stopped their work with children of different ages, contacted the ‘Donbass Humanitarian Aid’ Foundation with a request to help organize recreation for the children. Besides the war, because of the situation with the virus, the children are unable to travel to various places of recreation. Which is very sad, because now it is summer! It was decided to organize a small charity concert to raise funds and bring the children joy and a lot of fun to where they spend most of their time. The concert was performed by Anatoly Kosheparov (of ‘Pesniary’ music group) and the incomparable Elena Leshchinskaya with the support of the Russian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate in Tampa, Florida.The concert was a great success, and due to the funds raised we purchased several ‘Cocoon’ swings and Indian wigwams, and bananas and sweets for 87 kids. Part of the funds raised will later be used to prepare children for school.On the first day, we arrived at Donetsk Specialized Child Care Center, where children undergo medical and social rehabilitation. Next day – at ‘Teremok’ Orphanage. Over the two days we have brought and installed 8 ‘Cocoon’ swings and 5 wigwams. And lots of bananas and sweets, of course! The kids were so happy and excited about their new swings and wigwams to play in! It was very fun and touching for all. It can be seen that the teachers and nurses who work there are very fond of the children and their work. We thank everyone who participates in these charitable missions (that will be continued) for the warmth of your hearts and for the assistance provided to the children of Donbass!
