Charity Drive: Presents for Children

For several years now, HSE students from the Open Your Eyes Charity have been visiting friends in children’s homes sponsored by the organization: the Polotnyano-Zavodsky Children’s Home, the Yakhromsky Children’s Home, the Kolchuginsky Children’s Home for mentally disabled children and the Sobinsky Home for adults with developmental disabilities. Student volunteers organize various musical and entertainment programmes, plays, and educational and creative workshops. For this year’s New Year’s celebration they prepared a special fairytale programme with presents for children.

On December 17, a New Year's festival for children with disabilities attending the school of inclusive development, Dancing House, will be held at the HSE Cultural Centre. The event is organised with the support of the Centre for Local Community Relations. The charity event will include gifts for the kids, and HSE students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to donate.
