These children need care, and we can give it. We all can do it, because it is not calculated in the amount of money. You must greet children with an open heart and give whatever you can: time, affection, sincere joy of success and empathy for failure. The main thing is not to remain indifferent", - said Andrey Alyosha, the president of Financial and Industrial Corporation «DMS».

We celebrate a lovely holiday, a summer holiday, a holiday of happy childhood, beauty, good humor, and believe me, these kids deserve it all", - began the concert orphanage director Raisa Prilipko.

Indescribable atmosphere of the holiday made all people present forget about the fact that these children are deprived of parental care and love, and made them believe that there is something else in their life - concern and dedication of those who care. Huge eyes, radiating joy and trust, sincere amazement to endless surprises in the fairy land, where the children were today, make us proud of our involvement in this boundless happiness of these young people.
