  Maria Elisseyeva’s narration about August trip to Sweden:
Children from the boarding school #4 have been visiting Sweden regularly for many years. Swedish foster parents take them and spend their 24-day-holidays with our children. As usual, these families are not very well off, representatives of Swedish middle class. Tretyak Charity Fund which is sponsored by the Swedish Queen supports these families’ wonderful desire to give some comfort to children from orphanages. Many families invite these children for a visit every year, then some of them adopt the child or help him when he is a grown-up to get a job and a residence permit in Sweden. |

Children stayed with their foster families, gaining the experience and skills of family life. In order to support children in the strange environment and within the frameworks of the project, mutual events were organized with the participation of children and their foster families, workers and volunteers of the Centre who accompanied children on their trip to Italy and local people who were interested in the events. |

21 children from orphanage-boarding school #28 spent with us these unforgettable days. The weather was fine, warm and sunny and it was possible to enjoy bathing in the lake. Some could swim, some couldn’t but everyone was delighted. Twice we visited Iksha reservoir, like last year and were riding a banana boat. |

For the first time not all children were confident enough to use paints and preferred a familiar pencil. But gradually they took courage and all of them painted in oil.

We were trusted to paint an outside wall and we did our best; little ones and their parents would see our painting from the porch. We hope that it will encourage the ill and help them to get well.
Thank you, Ilya Segalovich for funding the trip. |

.jpg) .jpg) On May 22 our traditional and favorite event Ship of Our Hopes took place. More than 100 children from our boarding schools went with us to the Bukhta Radosti (Bay of Joy), which on that day was turned into a magic island because of The Big Game, prepared by our volunteers. Being divided for teams, children were following magic paths in the forest and met characters from fairy tales, who asked them questions and gave tasks to do. We have fulfilled all the tasks and found a magic spell to unspell three brothers, who had been turned into the three-headed dragon. |
