Our motley team

On 5-10 April our team volunteered at the school №1 in Beslan again. It was already our NINTH trip to our beloved students and teachers! Volunteers (up to 30 people!) came not only from Moscow but also from afar: Chip, Steven, Naomi and Donna – from the USA, Pablo and Martha – from Spain, Ginevra and Italo – from Italy, and for many it was not the first time in Beslan.


Painting on the walls in the gym

At school all the children were offered master-classes on painting and mosaic, clowning and juggling, contemporary dances, games and masks,

book-making and photography,

T-shirt decorating and ebru.

We also continued wall-painting in the school gym and, as a cherry on the top of a cake, these days were crowned with an amateur concert in which the students showed what they had learnt during master classes as well as their own performances.

As usual, we also visited children in the orphanage in Vladikavkaz. A bit later a film about this trip will be available.

We heartily thank Nadezhda Gurieva, Elena Ganieva and all the school administration for such a warm welcome, and UTair avia-company for discounts.
