On Sunday, 7 July we spent three hours with an amazing bunch of Russian Volunteers
helping out in a home for mentally disabled children. The volunteers were from Дорогами Добра (Dorogi
Dobra – Paths of Kindness).
It was a very
humbling experience. The volunteers work with these children on a
weekly basis and put together all sorts of activities for them.
Today they were
teaching the children about money and shopping and after a short lesson we
opened up our shops for them to purchase all sorts of toys, books, etc.
The
children who range in age from around 10 to 18, were very eager to
meet us and so friendly. They all seemed to be very happy.
It is a
shame we did not connect with this group earlier as we could have spent a
few hours here each weekend we have been in Ekaterinburg.
