On the day of orthodox Palm Sunday, April 24, 2016, the Diakonia volunteers have successfully hold charity bazaars in 4 German cities: Berlin, Regensburg, Stuttgart and Munich. The unusually cold weather and freezing showers could not cool down their enthousiasm! The events have been attended by hundreds, and the volunteers, somewhat unexpectedly, managed to collect a record total of about EUR 6,000.
The funds were collected for Dascha Dolmatowa from Russia (11 y.o, retinoblastoma, requires tratment in Berlin), Nikita Kutscherenko from Ukraine (15 y.o., cerebral palsy, reabilitation in Ratingen) and the priest Nikolai Uljahin from Belarus (diabetes, prothesis in Köln).
Many thanks to all volunteers, their assistants and donators! Happy, enlightening and merry Easter for all who did good! Christ is risen!

Dear friends!
With regard to the children I told about in my March letter, I’m eager to report the following:
- To proceed with the treatment of Natalya Dolmatova from Perm, 11 y.o, brain cancer in Charite clinic, Berlin, we need to collect only EUR 6,500 from EUR 33,650. The deadline is the beginning of May.
- Parents and friends of Vika Vakatova, 7 y.o., dislocation of the hip joints, progressive scoliosis, managed to collect CHF 19,000 required for the concluding surgery in Kinderspital clinic, Zurich. Many thanks to our Swiss colleagues, the members of diaconie group of Resurrection parish, for financial and moral help to this family!
- Levon Avargzhanyan, 3 y.o., cerebral palsy, arrested psychomotoric and speech development, still requires for his rehabilitation in Junior Rehabilitation Center “Rodnik” in St. Petersburg RUB 190,000 from RUB 225,000 required.
- Alyona Ivanova, 1 year 8 month old, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, has started her treatment in Turkey. The funds you have collected will be transferred to this hospital.
- We continue to search for the sponsor for a big family of our colleague Leonid Markov who is employed in charity fund “Diakonia” that works with drug addicts as consultant on chemical dependencies in rehabilitation centers and in the social adaptation center.
A short tour of a Moscow theather “Orange sky” in Kleve, Germany is just over.
The troupe gave 4 performances in three days.
For two evenings, the Russian- and German-speaking audience enjoyed in XOX theather an excellent stage direction and terrific acting at the performance of “The Little Tragedies” by Pushkin ( Mozart and Salieri, The Miserly Knight, The Stone Guest, and A Feast During the Plague)

We have had a charity feast of Maslenitsa (Butter week).
We wish to thank everybody who came to the feast for your donations, and for excellent mood and hope that you give to others! All together, we managed to collect EUR 635 to pay the treatment of Stanislav Sychenkov – thank you so much indeed!
Yours, volunteers of Good Deed.
Dear friends,
