After the court session (November 30, 2017) on the case of foster parents of the deceased girl Amina, I went to the orphanage with the volunteers. More precisely in the rehabilitation center for orphans.
The trial was at 9 am, we planned to go to the children's center at 3 pm.
But due to the fact that the trial lasted less than 5 minutes, we decided not to postpone the trip, went straight to the children.
The truth has jumped all over again on already a constant place of gathering, have collected things, have caused a taxi, pushed all and have gone to children.
What was our goal this time?
Visit the children, give them attention. But we lost an important moment because of the trial. All the children were at school.
The smallest were in the center. We again found the children during the rehearsal. Ahead of the New Year holidays, matinees ... Children are preparing hard for the winter holidays.
We decided to give the children a break, then live communication began ...
On the left is a gypsy daughter, she is the eighth in the family. Her mother brought to the center and said very simply. Or you'll take it, or I'll leave it now at a bus stop ... No comment.
I forgot to tell one more important point. When we arrived, we were greeted by the cheerful and responsive director of the center, Svetlana Grigoryevna! A kind-hearted man! Warmly met, talked from the heart ... You rarely meet such sympathetic people lately. She showed us the whole center, from and to. Although I already know the whole center!
The director wanted to show us that the rehabilitation center is not a zone! Although, how many times I have already been there, I know perfectly well that there is quite a home and friendly atmosphere.
Everything is good there, but there is one terrible minus - the lack of parental warmth, which is catastrophically missing for every child.
More about the purpose of the trip ... We brought the nightlights to the center. Since the last trip, from the director, I learned about the urgent need for night lamps.
Children, especially the youngest, wake up at night and do not see where to go. Now I hope it will be easier with night lights. We also brought the chancellery, hygiene products, sweets to the children ... We brought a lot of cookies. Yes, you yourself look at happy children!
And this is already cookies treated children in the evening, when all returned from school.
And this cute boy hopes that after the New Year holidays he will be taken by his aunt ... He is 6 years old, he constantly held a cross in his hands. I thought about this moment for a long time. Here, either he believes in God and hopes, or the cross itself is something important, special for him ... I talked with him, with him came the energy of good. He's a good boy, it's hard for me to write such moments.
His aunt will take him, I do not know ... Is there any hope ... I will not say anything ... The director did not answer this question. When the children said that everyone will be taken away! A wise woman, say that they will not take away - there will be hysteria in the child.
And this video bonus
I must say (forgot to take pictures), my calendar is hanging in the waiting room, children love it very much ...
The only moment on the calendar is almost all the children who have already left the center for various reasons. Who matured and went to the hostel. Who was taken, who was transferred to another orphanage ...
Now we can safely say that the composition of the center has changed radically. I do not recognize anyone in the center, only Tanya has stayed, from whom I recently interviewed.
And then another thought occurred to me. We need to make a new calendar.
This time, I will order 3 different copies. This is in the rehabilitation center, in the house of the baby and in the boarding school - invalids.
Photos from the rehabilitation center this time is not enough, this is due to the fact that we arrived on a weekday and did not catch the children. But we are not upset! Not the first and not the last trip!
Why did you write this post? I wanted to ask each of you. Do you live on the Pareto principle? How do you allocate your 100% income? Do you give 10-20% to charity or not?
Do not be greedy, make the world more kind! It's so easy!
I had a goal for a week to visit the rehabilitation center, the house of the baby and the boarding school of disabled people. The goal was reached in 10 days, but this is another story
