Several families in the USA and other countries volunteered to send
valentines to the children at orphanages in Russia and India.
Mail
going to Russia often takes longer than it is supposed to, but finally the
valentines reached their destination!
Natasha
and “Help for Children” distributed the cards to children at Jukki and Luga
orphanages. The valentines created a lot
of excitement among the children!
“Although the
day of 14 of February was long ago, it is never too late to say the good
words to the children in need, to let them know that they are loved and
not forgotten!
“I didn't
expect that those cards will cause such interest of children! It was so special
for them to receive the Valentines. They
were sharing, showing each other the cards, I have translated them all. We do
not have such cards in Russia. We had made a game with the sets of such
Valentines (they went in boxes with cartoons heroes).
“Every child was
taking a card and we said that the words that are written there are just for
him personally - such words as "loved", “you are the best
friend", "I am missing you" encouraged every child, and
such words as “you are cool", "funny", and “fashionable"
brought a lot of laughter.
“Our children
had such fun sharing and playing that game, they asked us to distribute the
cards with the wishes again and again! Thank you, everyone, who brought a lot
of laughter and love into the orphanage!”
Our thanks to everyone who took the time to
send a valentine to an orphan in Russia or India to let that child know that
they are special and are very much loved by their heavenly Father! We introduced this project on Facebook… so if
