Dear friends!
Approaching us is the warm and welcoming Christmas time, despite the frost outside! It is time to share your warmth, time to think about others and your place and meaning in life. I believe that with the help of our children we all will be able to do a good deed and therefore increase the amount of life and goodness in this world!
In November we have been able to find sponsors money to buy medication for Valerij Davyskub from Ukraine, 16 years, hypophosphatemic rickets, and a course of treatment from Hepatitis for the single mother Elena from Russia. Thank you, our benefactors!

Dear friends!
This is what we achieved in the short month of September.
Andrey Dmitriev, 9 y.o. from Donetsk, spine wound, has completed a rehabilitation course at the Helios clinic and is now able to walk again for the first time since he was wounded. The family went home until the next surgery, scheduled for April, which will remove the metal implants. The Diakonia has paid for their tickets. I would like to thank the community of Berlin who have organized the departure of Andrey.
Diakonia has also partly paid for the rehabilitation of Gleb Kazakov, cerebral palsy, 5 y.o., in Russian center “Sakura”.
Thanks to you, dear friends, we were able to collect and transfer significant funds for the treatment of Sophia Dukasheva, 5. y.o., leukemia, who is waiting for the bone marrow transplantation in Wurzburg hospital. The parents of late Ilya Spinov, for whom we collected funds earlier on this summer, have donated EUR 5,000 for the treatment of Sophia. I would also like to thank the Regensburg group who raised funds for Sophia at the autumn charity bazaar.
We have donated funds for medicine to Volyn orphanage.
We have collected the funds for rehabilitation of Vanya Kochnov, 4 y.o., cerebral palsy, from Donetsk.
The autumn charity ball in Berlin, which was organized by our local group, turned out to be very successful. Around 800 euros have been raised. A part of the sum has been transferred to Aglaya Mysovskaya for a prolongation of her medical visa in Germany.

Review of a gest:
The ball in Berlin, the ball of autumn!
It was so much to see!
One cannot find enough praising epithets for this ming-blowing event! I want to thank all gathered as well as everybody separately for a creation of such, I’m tempted to say, unearthy athmosphere! That has been a time jump! World-known compositions have been performed with flute and saxophone. What a terrific beginning it was: chello and J.S. Bach. Later, we have been whirled in eddies of gipsy spirit. And dancing, dancing, dancing till late into night.
A ball is a really special event, great of scale for any time. Yet his main component are us, those who have organized, brought through, and performed this event with a lot of positive emotions! I am flattered to be a part of it! Thanks to you and a deep bow – that we have learned at the ball in a folk Russian dance.
