Children’s Charity Fair in Budva, Montenegro, 16-12-2017
Our children’s charity fair has taken place! Summarizing my impressions, and comments of those who participated in it, I can firmly state – it was a success!
Firstly, it turned out a truly children’s event. The children themselves developed the program, divide the jobs, made gifts with their own hands, sold, decorated, prepared, cleaned, held actions and master classes. They were strengthening and supporting each other. It was awesome! I have not seen for a long time so many adult, beautiful and responsible children in one place. It was a great team work. Masha, Dima, Sasha, Martha, Veronica, Anya, Lisa, Mark, Gleb, Varya, Vasilisa, Myron, you are the best!
Secondly, the fair itself and all the preparation for it really took place under the sign of charity. We have collected, perhaps, not as much money as we could – 126 euros. But this is a good result for the first time. The conscious participation of children in helping others and the manifestation of mutual support at the fair is a way more important than the amount collected. The same goes for the understanding that by supporting each other and working in a team we can do more!
Well, thirdly, the fair turned out to be a real fun fair: Beautiful, fervent, tasty and fragrant. Nice and cozy. Many of us say they spent this day with a great pleasure, from very beginning to the end. They did not want to leave. Some impressions you can see in photos. Although nothing can not be compared with personal involvement :).
We invite everyone to our future actions, fairs and holidays! Follow the ads! MANY THANKS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS AND ORGANIZERS! Especially to my dear friends and colleagues who supported me and our children, and invested their time, money, talents, skills in this event! It is difficult to overestimate the help of Anastasia Kolyada, Irina Chernysheva. I think nothing would have happened without them. In addition to gratitude for their moral support and perfect organizational assistance, I have thousands thanks for their incredible master classes at the fair!
Thank you, School “Forty-Two” in Sveti Stefan, Montenegro and the “Brother Rabbit” Kindergarten in Budva – for green light for the event and material support! Finally, thanks to our kind partners who made our event bright and memorable – the Art Vintage Art Center, whose smart Christmas tree is present in many photos of our guests, and Elite Tea, whose tasty tea we drank in our cafe. Thank you, Elena Glotova, for very precise and timely support and the ability to calmly and quickly solve any problem, for inspiring on-line reports , as well as for saving a lost participant in the fair. Thank you, Olga Lisyanskaya, for professional photos and donatining the crafts she made. Thank you, Evgeniya Kompaneets, for moral and informational support, as well as for active participation in the preparation of the fair! Thank you, the guests of the fair, children and parents who came to us on this bad weather Saturday, and added to their lives the warmth, love, joy and happiness! Thank you for the festivity that we did all together! I’m glad that I was able to initiate, organize and make true this wonderful idea! I embrace all and love! Till next time!
Oh, yes, I forgot to thank the stray Albanian musicians who unexpectedly came to us in the midst of the fair, and also contributed to the common cause!
