January 2005

The biggest event of this month at the Center was the charitable Christmas performance for orphans. It took us several months to prepare this performance. The play and the music were written especially for the performance "The Christmas Story" that was staged by the theoretical group "Parable". Over 600 orphans from Children's Homes and orphanages all over the Republic and children from needy families came to watch it. There was a big entertainment program after which each child received Christmas presents. The children had a wonderful time and all the directors of all orphanages, which were invited, responded with great thanks and with expressions of joy. Invalid children (150) received Christmas presents as well.

Also this month The International Center for Hope helped ten families with food.
