All children wait for 19th of December with great impatience, because this day is usually celebrated the Feast of St. Nicholas, who is a patron of all kids.

This day every child is looking forward to wonderful gifts and truly believes to find a surprise under a pillow. In order to please the kids from socially disadvantaged families and children deprived of parental care the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation organized a perfect celebration of St. Nicholas Day in the Mamajeva Sloboda Cossack village.

As a part of the Revival of cultural and moral values program more than 70 boys and girls had the opportunity to personally communicate with the real Nicholas and get sweet gifts.

After appearing in the Mamajeva Sloboda village, the young guests were delighted with the national Ukrainian coloring that surrounded them everywhere. Together with a Cossack-guide the kids visited the manors of a village head, Cossacks Jurs, and a fortuneteller. During the trip across the village the children also learned the names and purpose of different outbuildings: barn, hangar, stable, cellar, cowshed, etc.

Got acquainted with the territory all the guests went into the house of St. Nicholas, who was looking forward to meeting with the kids. Amiable old man congratulated the children sincerely and gave each of them memorable gifts. The guys not only talked with the magical character personally, but also could express their creativity.

The journey to the residence of St. Nicholas, that was organized by the team of the Konstantin Kondakov International Charity Foundation, gave everyone a magical feeling of fairy tale which the kids will certainly remember for life! For this, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
