“FOR THE SAKE OF HAPPINESS”

I have joined Oleg and Natalia during their visit to the Frunze Center of Family and Youth. We have met children from the refugees families, large families, and difficult families. Well, if talking general, these are children who simply need our support.

Oleg and Natalia have been very easy and even took fun during the meeting. Children of 10-12 years old have talked with each other and with us with quite an interest. They were attentive and performed all the tasks, answered all the questions, and told us about themselves. The meeting was full of activities. Oleg has told children about development of personality and the key components of our communication in the society that must be learnt, accounted and developed to reach harmony in our life as well as society evolution. He has told them how it is important to believe in yourself and never give up and lead your star whatever happens! Never lose your faith! At the end we have had some tea, cookies, and candies, but also watched and discussed an interesting cartoon.

Of course, it is so important to have such events, but these are too small for children and their communication.

On my way back home I was thinking that after these few hours of happiness children experienced they have to return to their families defined as “difficult” with parents that for some reasons cannot create the so needed “happiness” or those families that turned to be prisoners of situations, which they simply cannot affect and change. I think we have to meet parents too. Indeed there are some reasons they don’t have happy families or their families have been disturbed and lost the happiness. They need our support as well.
