Charity Committee news
17 April 2011, 20:28On March 11 the Charity Committee of the "NES Alumni and Friends" partnership held its annual meeting. The meeting participants exchanged their warm memories of the 2010 projects, such as their five visits to Obidimo orphanage, as well as the orphanage kids' excursion to Moscow on November 2010, a part of which was the visit to a chocolate factory. The plans for the nearest future were also discussed.
The Committee was happy to welcome special guests - Tatyana Tulchinskaya - the director of the charity fund Here and now, and Diana Kolesnikova - the coordinator of the charity organization ICEF outreach. The guests shared their experience with charity projects related to supporting orphanages and helping orphaned children. One of priority goals for these projects is overcoming the children's consumerism orientation. Projects, in which the kids are involved in working on making their surroundings better, effectively serve this goal. The Charity Committee was happy to make joint plans with the organizations represented by the special guests, the first example being the Committee's poster at ICEF outreach's charity event on March 18.
The Charity Committee's 2011 activities included a visit to Obidimo on March 19, and welcoming Obidimo kids during their visit to Moscow on April 9 and 10.

New Year's celebration in Obidimo
21 January 2010, 22:14Thank to the efforts of NES community the New Year's celebration was made possible for the kids of the Obidimo orphanage! On December 26th a group of 20 people (NES students, alumni, professors and NES staff) drove down to Obidimo where the children greeted them with performances, songs, and dances which they had prepared ahead of time. Afterwards each child eagerly received his or her gift personally from Ded Moroz.
We thank you all for your efforts in taking the time to purchase and wrap gifts and write personal cards from Ded Moroz. All other gifts and donations were also given to the orphanage. We are very grateful to everyone who drove down in the cold Russian winter weather to make this joyous event possible. Thanks to everyone's help and enthusiasm the celebration was a big success!
