Yulia Bogdanova: On Sunday January 24 clowns of Maria’s children together with volunteers visited Department of pulmonology. Children, parents and medical staff were happy. Children received so much warmth and joy! Misha Ananyan became the favourite among girls of all age groups. We are always happy when children can join hospital visits but this one was very special: within two hours strangers managed to become very close friends. Doctors and medical staff are also very grateful to clowns! |
