By Russian law, children living in an orphanage must be outside for at least four hours a day. What to do with them and how to entertain them if it’s raining outside? In St. Petersburg, it really is raining a lot. Rain is a part of our life here. And when it rains, children should have a roof over their heads. We already have two wooden gazebos, and we are very grateful for them, but there is not enough space for everyone.

Therefore, we decided to build a third gazebo so that every child has a place and opportunity to be outside. But gazebos are not only needed in the rain, our children love to be outdoors. The food is tastier outside, and it is easier to play and draw on the street. Our staff is happy to provide outdoor lessons or heart-to-heart conversations with children.

For the third such gazebo, we need to raise about $2,000.

We will be very grateful if you help the Children’s Ark in purchasing materials and building another gazebo for our children! Thank you and God bless you!
