On this Orthodox Christmas Day, Orphan's Tree takes this opportunity to thank you for your love, care and support for the orphans we serve. In late December, there were Christmas parties in each of the three regions where we work. These are always special times of gathering to see long time friends and update staff members who have supported them over the years. It really has the feel of a family reunion. At the Vladimir Ministry Center where nearly 200 orphans enjoyed the Christmas festivities, Sasha said, "Although my son and I now live in Kolchugino, we could not miss the Christmas party. I have known many of the ministry center staff members since childhood. They helped me when I graduated from the orphanage, while I studied in Vladimir, taught me how to become an independent person, they stayed by me when I had a child, helped me with housing, and still support me in everything. For me to come to this event, is like coming to relatives, especially on such a holiday! I was happy to see all the mothers with their children. Many of them I know well, but there were a lot of brand new moms. Everything was great - so many positive emotions! My son participated in all the competitions, and even recited a poem to Father Frost. Thank you very much for the gifts and treats, and most importantly that you are always near!”
