ZAIMKA CHILDREN'S VILLAGE IN VERKHOTURYE (BIRTHDAY CLUB)
THIS IS A REPRINT OF AN ARTICLE POSTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO
This small orphanage, nestled in the Ural Mountains, is an amazing home for approximately 60 orphans (Social and True Orphans) ranging from age 5 to 17. When Desana volunteers first visited Zaimka in June 08, they knew immediately that an opportunity existed to initiate a relationship with these children. What better way than to send a birthday present to each child every year? This Project has been highly successful in bringing smiles, happiness and a sense of pride to these children as they now anxiously await their birthdays and "the gift" coming from America.
Desana wishes to extend gratitude and recognition to the unselfish volunteers who support this Project with their donations and efforts:
Rosann Hurst - Brentwood, TN
Nancy McKee - Lexington, TX
Wendy Nogler - Lynchburg, TN
Carol LeBlanc - Putnam, CT
Mary Jo Pitts - Shelbyville, TN
You have accomplished more with your kind hearts than you can imagine! A million hugs from the children of Zaimka.
