Taraz 19.04.2007

This day at our centre was especial. In Taraz arrived the president of Association of the Jewish national organizations of RK "Mitsva" Alexandr Baron. The director of Hesed Yelena Dmitrieva told to the visitor about life and work of organization. The members of a community were pleasantly surprised with, how much well Mr. Baron not only knows all of their problem, but also is ready to help with their solution.

The arrival of Almaty visitor coincided with Day of Catastrophe. That to honor memory of victims of the Holocaust this day in Hesed gathered and adults, and children. Everyone was as never serious and concentrated. The coordinator of the children's programs Alla Koroleva gathered the guys on thematic lesson, have begun to sound the stories about the Second World War.

And then work, under the direction of Olesya Saloid was in full swing. On the large sheet of Whatman the contours of our planet the Earth were drawn, to which from different directions flied cranes. The senior generation has recollected words of song "to me it seems, sometimes, that the soldiers, with bloody not come of fields, not in ground our fell at one time, and have turned to flocks of cranes ". On the wings the birds carried wishes of children "We want, that there was not any war!" Many children made the perfect pigeons, - you see the pigeon - is symbol of the peace, - and with them decorated the poster.

Then began the conversation with the parents, the grandmothers and grandfathers devoted to Yom-a shoa-ve a gvura. Alla Koroleva continued the story about Day of memory of six millions Jews who have lost in Catastrophe, that only in former Soviet Union were lost 1 million 300 thousand man. Helena Dmitrieva told about one of pages of the Holocaust, about a history Babiy Yar. And volunteer Vera Grinberg continued her story with poem of Ilya Erenburg.

In conversation took part and Alexandr Baron, he not only wonderfully read verses, but also told about those much who survived this terrible time. The gathered, continued record of the wishes to the poster about the peace, so Inna Faerman has written: "I wish the world, happiness, health to all on the Earth", and Vasily Efimov continued: "Let our children be happy and never see sorrow!"

And meanwhile at the guys began classes of dance circle, leader of which - Maria Koroleva with group "Tamir" already twice have become winners of the International festival "FREILEHE KINDER". Then the training began "Be arranged to the partner", and if earlier only units managed to do that, now with the task coped many. For realization of sports games and other trainings the guys send on a street, where with them was engaged also our volunteer Alexandr Sveboda. The adults looked at our happy youth, and were pleased, that Hesed for all of us became, like the second house, where all of us gather with the great pleasure.

This perfect warm solar day was especially appreciable, as the world with blossoming everywhere flowers and trees, with singing of birds and joyful laughter of youth is wonderful. And, when children took a seat at the table hospitable hostess Helena, have begun classes of "Jewish cuisine", they took part in preparation of stuffed eggs and "Rafaello", and Galina Smerichinskaya informed secrets of preparation of a tasty pie. Alexandr Baron spoke about the plans for the future: about trip on the International festival, about a seminar of "Leaders" in Almaty, and even about trip to America.

Also Alla Koroleva conducted testing among the adult, in which has found out, that our grandfathers and grandmother in the basic are optimists, and mums realists, but we have not incorrigible pessimists! And it very much pleased. And it would be desirable to tell a huge thank to our sponsors that we can develop talents and build such grandiose plans for the future.
