Saint Mykolay’s Day that is traditionally celebrated in Ukraine on 19 December was special for our wards in Kalinovka, who are living in Chernigov orphanage. Due to our partners from charity foundation “Kluch” children got bright emotions and impressions. The special one were animators with soap bubbles. Various developmental games such as mosaic, puzzles were presented to children and some delicious sweets for sure. The important fact was that the celebration was held individually for our wards, directly in Happy House - that will start functioning as family-type orphanage at the beginning of 2017.
