Travel to the edge of Europe

Every year in the last days of autumn, the visitors of “Yekaterinburg” library centre  make a small journey. France, Czechia, Italy, and now – Portugal. All these countries were imprinted on the canvases of the young artists, the students of Gymnasium No. 8, “Lyceum named after S.P. Diaghilev”, and during the exposures opened new, bright and unexpected.

The superpower of XVII festival “My family and I”

The mechanism of the magic clock started to work and all guests of the festival froze in anticipation of a real miracle. The long-awaited holiday was due to start in a minute. It was the birthday of the charity fund “Children of Russia” and Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company. But the magic clock unexpectedly stopped: the holiday was at risk and only real superheroes – sporting families could save the situation.  

“My family and I” is ready for the final game!

Fathers rode big inflatable horses like real cowboys. Mothers got fast into big yellow sumo wrestlers’ costumes and moved to a finish line gracefully. The youngest members of the teams drove scooters and hoverboards, move in huge boots and slippers. And it was only a small part of different vehicles and strange shoes that they used.

They are first-grade pupils today!

There were flowers, the first school uniform, backpacks full of bright notebooks, yearbooks, pen cases and etc. Children met their first teacher, had their first lesson and homework, and first marks. All of these became the main theme of the holiday, which was held for children from Serov (the Sverdlovsk Region) with the support of the charity fund “Children of Russia”.

I know! I help!

People were surprised and amazed seeing many white balloons and inscriptions #IKnowIHelp. This hashtag became the main idea of the action, which the charity fund “Children of Russia” realized in the International Day of Charity. The main aim of the action was to show that everybody create the bright and alive feeling of sympathy, warmth and support in his or her heart.

Another gold medal of European Championship

In the big hall was total silence. A lot of people: girls and boys, serious men and women didn’t say any word. All views were concentrated on two young boys. It was the final round. There was a lot at stake – the title of the European Champion of 2016 year. The “crown” of winner could win the boy from Austria and the ward of the charity fund “Children of Russia”, the FIDE master from Verkhnyaya Pyshma (the Sverdlovsk Region), Timur Fakhrutdinov. As the result, the main prize “flew” to the Urals.

A new “palace” for preschool children

Bright seesaws and spinning rides stood motionless in peace and quiet outside. Children’s slides and little houses were sad, because there were no children around. Also you could see a nice and pretty building with a sign “The kindergarten “Ryabinushka” close to the playground. Not so long ago, there were a lot of people, who fixed walls, floor, windows and utility lines. They were creating a real fairy tale.

The summer with “Pioneer” theatre chain

The sea is rough. It changes its color from blue to green. A little goldfish is swimming on the surface of the water in this bad weather. And now the sea wave has covered her, but this little runaway goldfish doesn’t want to give up. Fins of the fish transforms into hands and legs, red scale becomes a dress and wind blows red hair.

The great joy and invaluable experience

One day we received a touching letter from Tyumen from the united family. They have five children and every child is unique and gifted. Parents try to see the talent of every child and try to develop it. Their daughter Natalya has a good voice. She studies an academic vocal performance and she has already won a lot of different musical contests.
