St. Nicholas Day in Kalinovka

January 5, 2017, 10:30 3241 Author: Nina Kokoeva deti.zp.ua St. Nicholas Day was special for our orphans, wards of Chernihiv orphanage in the village of Kalinovka

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.

Without our support, fifteen-year-old Maksym Didenko will not be able to continue his vital rehabilitation and corrective classes. Please help raise funds for the boy’s treatment and development!
