On 3rd March a French circus show by “Les Frères Kazamaroffs” took place in the orphanage “Malyshok” - a volunteer post of Tina and Deborah – our EVS volunteers from Germany. “Malyshok” is a home for 105 children aged from 1,5 to 7 and has been a partner of SCG since 2003.
For one hour children and educators were carried away to a magic country of Chevengur where now for a thousand years it has been prohibited to train animals. So now for a thousand years in order to earn their living the Kazamaroff family has been training things.
