Angels of Peace Charity Concert for Families in Need
Written by: Olga Vakulinskaya
On June 1, 2023 WFWP Russia was invited to cooperate with their long-term partner, the children’s charity fund, “Believe in your dream,” in organizing a charity concert for families in need. The concert was for families with many children, low income families and families with disabled children, and commemorated both International Children’s Day and International Parent’s Day.
The concert consisted of the children’s singing and dancing ensemble, “Angels of Peace'' and took place in one of the villages near Nizhniy Novgorod with the support of the local administration. The concert hall was full with over 200 families and the atmosphere in the hall was amazingly warm and joyful.
The Angels of Peace (age from 8 to 14) did their best to bring joy, hope and encouragement to people. All the performance pieces were welcomed warmly by the audience and the local children were very grateful, happy and active. They recited poems without preparation and danced together with Angels of Peace! At one point, so many children wanted to recite poems in order to bring joy to others that it was difficult for the emcee to decide who to choose.
The administration of the town and the Department of Social Security warmly welcomed the Angels of Peace, presenting them with letters of gratitude. WFWP members and Angels of Peace were deeply moved by their hospitality. After the concert, the members were also touched that not only the representatives of administration and parents came to the stage to express their gratitude but also the village children.
Given the difficulties and division experienced by the region these days, the sincerity of the Angels of Peace to bring joy, traveling three hours to perform, the warm response of the audience was particularly significant.
WFWP and the charity fund have been partners for more than 10 years and have organized many social programs together. WFWP Russia looks forward to continuing this fruitful partnership in the future.
