Our tradition of celebrating the kids monthly for their successes, called the Achievement Board, has changed a bit. Yes, we are not at home, but there are anchors to constantly remind us of stable and familiar things. That's exactly what our Achievement Board has been for years. But in Germany, we upgraded it a little bit and made other anchors. Now for children who learn a new language well, show care for others, work on themselves and listen to the advice of adults, we go on mini trips around the nearest town. There the children walk, take pictures, and just chat with the chaperone. The last walk was ...

It is so nice to see children feeling safe, playing and smiling. We wish so much that all Ukrainian children were alive and healthy, that all their guardian angels would watch over them and their families. We wish the war would stop, Ukraine would defeat the enemy and all children would be with their parents. Let's believe in ...

Last December our Valeria had surgery on her leg. The girl had a congenital defect and no one in her life took care of her. When she came to our Center, we did everything we could to help her. The operation went perfectly. After a month of rehabilitation Lera started to work with a physical therapist. The war had made some adjustments in the system of work, but now in Germany we got the schedule back. Lera has a difficult path and there are many trials ahead, but we believe and know that she will be fully healthy. Let's wish Lera good luck with her classes and faith in ...

Once again, an entire restaurant came to our home and delighted the children with delicious treats Evonik Restaurant owner Claus Schmidt personally brought his establishment's off site catering to our home for the second time and prepared dinner for the children with his helpers. After such guests we often wonder what the kitchen will be like when we come back home, to please children in the same way. Thank you to our German friends for such holidays without a ...

We've talked many times before about the infinitely beautiful environment that surrounds us. But to be here, to play in the fresh air, next to the beautiful forest that gives off such fragrance and gives pleasure to berries and greenery, is a great happiness. The children enjoy every opportunity to be outside and find something to do just in the yard. We love that they spend so much time this ...

Check out this photo report. It could be called "The Story of Strawberry Paradise." Every year during strawberry season, we have dreamed of eating plenty of them to replenish our bodies with vitamins. Maybe we have to be careful what we wish for, but we couldn't have thought of such an insane amount of strawberries, and with the opportunity to pick them right out of town. The kids had a lot of ...

Learning any language is more effective in an environment where that language is used by native speakers. In Kiev, children learned English, but now there is a need to learn the language of the country, which has become our home, albeit temporary. This includes communicating with locals, guests and benefactors, teaching at school and visiting doctors. The children have already started with the teachers and are very interested in learning the language. Everything is in a playful, fun way and the children enjoy it very much. Today children together with the teacher made a cake and learned German words. ...

Such difficult times! War has come to every home in our dear land. It came to our families, it came to our children. In the last minutes before the shelling of the Minsk Massif began, our heroic caregivers and Center staff evacuated the children. The children went to their close relatives and directly to the families of our caregivers. We will not describe all the horror of how someone got to different places. How for three days the children of the caretaker were going under balloons, hiding in bomb shelters. Everyone is alive, everyone is in more or less safe places. But we need your help. We ...

We want to express our deep gratitude to those who have been with us for years. Those who support our activities, help children, lend a helping hand at the right moment. Without you, it would not be possible to provide all the goods to our wards with such high quality and efficiency. Thanks to Elena Minahina for many years of help in the form of the varied seafood! Always fresh, healthy and delicious! Thank you for having such a friend as you! Thanks to our fairy Olya, who sometimes just rescues and appears at the moment when we really need help. Olya buys medicines, goodies, stationery, and ...

Now our monthly traditional Achievement Board will be different. We pay great attention to this event. Now we'll tell you why. Our Centre and the children had a very difficult period. First, quarantine. In March, it will be two years since the whole world plunged into a big pandemic. The kids were almost constantly at home, there was no opportunity to visit and study the world around them, the distance school, the inability to open doors for all willing volunteers, limited contacts and dismissals of educators. The solution of children’s social issues was greatly delayed due to lockdowns and ...
