On July 2, 2016, in Munich, on the premises of the Cathedral of the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia and St. Nicholas, we held the Second Day of the Orthodox volunteers timed to the commemoration of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco.
The event has been attended by about 50 volunteers from Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and has proceeded under the guidance and with active participation of archpriests Ilya Limberger (Stuttgart), Nikolay Artemov (Munich), Nikolay Zabelich (Munich), and archbishop Pateleimon (Shatov) from Moscow.

Muhannamd suffers from cerebral palsy and was registered as disabled from early childhood. A year ago he has got a special pushchair on goverment account. He has grown a lot for this year and can not use this pushchair any longer – yet he would have to wait for 5 years for new one…
In August the little one should go to Germany, where they would help him in Asklepios hospital – yet there is no chair to trasport him.

Dear friends!
The summer season has started! During it, just as during Christmas, we tend to dream and make great plans. Let us achieve all of our bravest and purest dreams with the help of God!
Two years ago at the coordinators event we made a plan to have a big international Day of the Orthodox Volunteer, which will be held for the second time in Germany this year. To this date it is the only platform where volunteer groups and charitable organisations from the FSU, Europe, Israel, England and America can meet up, exchange experience, establish contacts and form bonds of helping each other. This year we are holding it in Munich, 1st-3rd of July. Everyone involved in benevolence and volunteering is heartily welcome to come, absorb experience and be a part of the communal deed of helping others! More information and registration can be found on our site orthodiakonia.de
