Director and founder Maria Eliseeva – an artist and mother of five daughters – tells a brief story of “Maria’s Children Art Center” and Charitable Fund PELICAN.
Maria’s Children Art Center was founded in 1997 to help orphans and special needs children in their rehabilitation and social adaptation. During art classes at Maria’s Children studio the children learn painting, ceramics, handicrafts and music. The atmosphere is so cozy and domestic, that it helps the kids become more sensitive, attentive to each other, friendly, inquisitive, active and responsible. During the winter and summer camps the children acquire practical and communications skills essential for everyday life.
The PELICAN Foundation was created in 2008 as a natural extension and development of Maria’s Children programs for its grown-up students, with the aim to help them in adaptation, integration into society and raising their educational level.
