On March 14-16 of the year 2005 Operation Blessing Staff visited Berdyansk boarding school, where 298 children are being brought up. They are the orphans and the children of the parents whose parental rights were annulled. The money transferred for the needs of the boarding school are catastrophically not enough. In fact their only support is the Operation Blessing helping the orphanage through Emmanuel Charity Association. Since the year of 2004 Emmanuel Staff has visited the children with presents and humanitarian aid for three times. The children are waiting for our every visit as for a holiday. As a sign of their gratitude they show us their talents and skills. In this boarding school every child has an opportunity to develop his interests and abilities whether it is dancing, singing, playing musical instruments, basketball, ballet, drawing, needlework or something else. The peculiarity of the boarding school is that every child is taught to be grateful, loving, compassionate, caring and kind to each other. They appreciate every given thing. And desiring to express their personal gratitude every child has made a drawing of the mostly liked present and has written the words of their appreciation on it.
