On the day of orthodox Palm Sunday, April 24, 2016, the Diakonia volunteers have successfully hold charity bazaars in 4 German cities: Berlin, Regensburg, Stuttgart and Munich. The unusually cold weather and freezing showers could not cool down their enthousiasm! The events have been attended by hundreds, and the volunteers, somewhat unexpectedly, managed to collect a record total of about EUR 6,000.
The funds were collected for Dascha Dolmatowa from Russia (11 y.o, retinoblastoma, requires tratment in Berlin), Nikita Kutscherenko from Ukraine (15 y.o., cerebral palsy, reabilitation in Ratingen) and the priest Nikolai Uljahin from Belarus (diabetes, prothesis in Köln).
Many thanks to all volunteers, their assistants and donators! Happy, enlightening and merry Easter for all who did good! Christ is risen!
