When you remember your childhood, youth and recent past, do you note, what events you remained in your memory? I mean pleasant recollections. I myself most of all remember trip to the Khortitsa island with my parents - beauteful rocky banks, forrests, beaches... I remember my first trip to Crimea, when I was 5 years old - inexplicable presentiment of something new, mysterious... Noise of wheels in the train, and then - fantastic mountains and tender sea. I also remember last trips to Abkhazia and Georgia (Caucasus) - these trips was as well saturated as whole life is... I don't remember thousands of days, spent in the everyday's troubles, but remember, for example, 2 days of school trip to Sevastopol and Odessa.

Really, it doesn't matter how many years you lived, but sence of fullness and joy of life are very important. When I came back from the travel, I always can find key for those probems, that seems to had no solution before trips. And always new ideas and energy for creation arise. Even this website was created after my home-coming from Caucasus.

Orphans often have nothing to remember. For example, boy, 12 years old, never travel farther then his village or orphanage district. Orphans form their opinion about life on basis of action movies and dark orphanage reality. "Happiness exists..." - there is such song at one Russian singer. And most of "home children" would agree wth this song. But orphans will not agree. They haven't see happiness. Even in hard situation children grown in the family can see "Ray of hope", but not orphans. So, let orphans to see that "Happiness exists", show them our great wonderfull World!

Everyone can sponsor children trips. For example, expences for 1 day trip to Kiev are about $25-40 per child. 6 days trip to Crimea costs $80 per one child.
