Thanks to funds from our November Charity "Auction" we help children who desperately need treatment. This year Angelina Ten has taken part in our "Auction" (in absentia). She painted beautiful picture to help children in treatment as she was helped last year. Little Petya was born in January 2007 in Almaty city in Kazakhstan. Everything was good before his four months, and then awful allergic problems. The baby has been lort his weidht, and doctors didn't know how to help him. |
Despairing parents came with Petya to Moscow Health Center. But the have to pay for hospitalization. We could help to give the family 15,000 roubles. Here in Moscow Petya has been done lots of tests, they cleared the diagnosis. The baby put on his weight and grew a little, and the family left for home. The diagnosis is not simple, Petya has an allergy almost for everything, but now it's known how to treat him.
Let's wish a good heaith also to two children from Chechnya. Shamil Kurmanov and Khava Lorsanova came back home after their treatment in the sameMoscow Health Center. Shamil has psychoneurological desease, Khava has congenial disease of gall system. The both children have been helped with buying medicines and tickets to home, because the both families are badly needy.

25/12/2007 I have a friend...
These words opened a film created by a friend of us, Serezha Isakhanyan. Serezha is 14, he suffers from cerebral palsy. Serezha comes to our studio for painting, he creates wonderful pictures and thus helps to other kids who need help.
Serezha has a friend, Sasha Mal’tsev. Sasha is 16, he suffers from cerebral palsy too. He can not move. Serezha made a picture and a movie about his friend so that to help to raise money and purchase an electric wheel-chair for Sasha. The picture was sold at our November charity evening “Auction” and brought us 83,000 rubles, so we bought the wheel-chair for Sasha. Sasha is happy, and a friend of him is happy as well.
We would like to thank all our donors, Mr.Simon Boddy in particularly, we appreciate all his generous support and friendship. And we are grateful to Serezha for the lesson of true friendship and help.
