Before September 1 there was a lot of work.

Then a new purchase of medicine was done for Tanya, a girl from the orphanage #2 in Peterhof.  Tanya lives only by means of this medicine and it was a big deal to by it all in time.

We continue buying clothes for the orphanage #8. Recently two beautiful dresses were bought for girls graduating from the orphanage.  It is a very important moment for all children, but unfortunately the orphanage can`t afford them to buy such expensive dresses.  The girls picked up dresses themselves according to their tastes.

IMG_0142August 31 was a shopping day for the orphanage #32.  During four hours four children and a teacher together with our Mir stuff were preparing for September 1.  They bought dresses, shoes, flowers, school supplies and everything needed for a new school year.

The kids wear these clothes during the whole year.  They themselves picked up the most beautiful and stylish clothes and by the end of the day were really tired and hungry.  Donuts with tea after shopping returned them to life and gave strength and joy!
