Recently I have been visiting Sochi a lot, where my elder daughter Olya lives. Olya and I wanted to find some orphanage there and paint the walls. The senior children who accompany me to Sochi could join this project and be helpful. |

There are many newcomers among them and it means that we will have new friends. Children from the boarding school #28 also visited us; we haven’t seen them only for a month after our summer camp.

  Maria Elisseyeva’s narration about August trip to Sweden:
Children from the boarding school #4 have been visiting Sweden regularly for many years. Swedish foster parents take them and spend their 24-day-holidays with our children. As usual, these families are not very well off, representatives of Swedish middle class. Tretyak Charity Fund which is sponsored by the Swedish Queen supports these families’ wonderful desire to give some comfort to children from orphanages. Many families invite these children for a visit every year, then some of them adopt the child or help him when he is a grown-up to get a job and a residence permit in Sweden. |
