05.12.2017 | The institution of help for the homeless
Dear friends! Calendar winter has come. It is a difficult time for our wards.
But we could buy warm hats, gloves and women's mittens for the homeless thanks to the kindness of Anna Ivakina's heart!
Dear Anna, thank you very much!
Let these warm clothes give our patients joy and warmth.
We ask all caring people to help the most vulnerable people who are nearly died - the homeless.

Today Russia celebrates the day of the VOLUNTEER for the first time! Volunteers work in each program of Caritas Saint-Petersburg. They are young and old, they are scientists, or students and pupils, moms and dads, grandparents, single and from large families. They are so different, but they all share a big desire to be needed, a big desire to help people in need!!!
Thank you, our family! Our work would be "lame" in one leg without your help!
Thank you for being with us and giving your time, love, knowledge and joy to our patients!
Always be healthy and active! The life becomes lighter and warmer because of your help and work!

We were preparing to the Mother's day almost a month. We prepared a small gifts for mums and painted the wall newspaper. And yesterday a celebration took place. Our mums took an active part in the celebration and had a possibility to appreciate the creativity of their children. Many mothers even cried because of emotions and feelings that children's felicitation had caused.
And, of course, there was a Grand tea party!
Dear mums, happy holidays! You are always welcome in our house!

We have just summed up our participation in events of BICE that were dedicated to world children's day. Three our projects took part in this action (Resource center for women and families with children, the children's Center "Little Island", the children's Center in Luga). Thank you all!
28.11.2017 | The children’s center “Little Island”
The 25th of November the children's center "Island" was visited by the Archbishop of Chicago (USA), the head of the Subcommittee of the Catholic bishops' conference on the help of the Church in Central and Eastern Europe, a cardinal Blaze Supich. We spoke about the work of "Caritas St. Petersburg" and "Little Island" in particular. A cardinal Blaze Supich expressed great interest to the work of "Little Island" and asked a lot of questions. The guys practiced their English and told what they did in "Little Island".

World children's day is celebrated the 20th November. The "Little island" is involved in the action of Bicé (International Catholic Child Bureau) dedicated to this day.
This year Bicé has proposed to hold the event on the theme of resilience and smile. Resiliently is a person's ability to recover from the endured hardship and turmoil. After a storm comes the calm, the sky appears a rainbow, play rays of the sun. After crying and weeping comes the calm, gradually rising to the sky face is a smile.
Psychological resilience is defined as an individual's ability to successfully adapt to life tasks in the face of social disadvantage or other highly adverse conditions.
| Resource center for women
A festive event dedicated to Mother's Day was held in the Resource center for women and families with children the 24th of November!
A surprise had been prepared for those who came to the feast.
The children divided stylists and florists into teams, and mums became models and florists' assistants.
The feast was called "My beautiful mummy".
Each team had to choose an attire for their mother, do her hair, do make-up, select accessories and present the model telling why their mother is the most beautiful.

Mother's day was the 26th of November (it is celebrated on the last Sunday of November). And we celebrated it on Friday evening! There was a tea, songs (the mothers sang too!) and gifts (the guys had made by hand a stand for hot plate or a pot holder or a dream catcher).
We held a small meeting for parents after the feast.

Our project has a very busy life. The weather was cool for trips to the country at the end of October and we (the staff of the program) decided to take Natasha to the Russian Museum. Galina Korotkova, the worker of the Museum, helped us with organization of the excursion. Galina is a parishioner of the Lutheran Church of St. Peter the Apostle. This visit was the opportunity for Natasha to get acquainted with the works of Russian masters. Also our small team organized relaxation trip for medical workers of the Botkin hospital. We visited the Literature Museum in Priyutino, walked around the manor park, saw the Savior Church, The miraculous Imago in Rumbolovo mountain and visited two memorials - "Memorial garden" and "Flower of Life". We are pleased that all the participants of the trip were satisfied.
Also the staff and volunteers would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to the driver, Alexander Pevtsov, for his great help in working with the disabled. We really appreciate his skills. Alexander is always happy to help us and our accompanied: whether it is a visit to a medical institution, or participating in walks and trips with our wards. Recently, he has created a miracle. He carefully has taken down a disabled person on the wheelchair from the fourth floor with no lift.
