common responsibility. For the second year in a row we provide full-fledged vacations in the
open air, in nature, at excellent childrens camp that Ive visited and checked myself, seizing
the opportunity to talk to the children. I was truly impressed by how they liked it, their
happiness, light-heartedness, full of dreams and aspirations for peaceful life!

were forced to leave their houses is not a quick process. However, the organizing
