The children's summer camp continues its work at Hesed in the city of Pavlodar. Thanks to the program «Children's initiative» children visit a swimming pool. It’s not only pleasure but also raises immunity, strengthens muscles and brings health. Those children who aren't able to swim will be taught to hold the breath and float correctly.

The rest it not only walks and entertainment. It’s also interesting tradition study. Our visitors Faina Pavlovna and Khan Meerovna help children to get deeply into the surprising world of the Jewish tradition. Children listen to lecturers with pleasure; ask questions, sketch the pleasant moments. Communicating with children makes our visitors younger, charging with energy of youth, and the children acquire knowledge and wisdom. Here are such equivalent exchanges!

And certainly every Friday we meet Shabbat. The first Kiddush is done by our smallest boys! They move ahead in knowledge of traditions step by step. It’s still much to be learned, but they already say blessing words over a white bread and grape juice! The week chapter is told by adults, but probably soon they can tell us stories from Jewish people life!

Creative workshop works too. We’re longing for Karaganda fest. Actors rehearse their number, and children in the creative workshop prepare gifts for visitors of festival. Our children hope their hand-made from clay would deliver pleasure to all participants of festival «Frelehe Kinder».
