Odesa’s schoolchildren to help the kids suffering from cancer
12:25 / 14.02.2013

ODESA, FEBRUARY 14th, 2013, CONTEXT-PRICHERNOMORIE ― Odesa’s schoolchildren will help the kids suffering from cancer 15 February, Context-Prichernomorie correspondent reports.

On February 15, 2013, charitable fairs will be held in the schools of Odesa’s Suvorovskiy District. All the raised funds will be used to purchase the dozing apparatus for the Hematological Ward of the Kids’ Regional Hospital. At the time being, 53 kids are taking treatments there, and 14 of them are the citizens of Suvorovskiy District.

The schoolchildren have initiated the idea of carrying out the fairs to raise funds for their coevals who have been diagnosed with cancer. The event is dated for the International Day Childhood Cancer Day, which has been celebrated in Ukraine on February 15 for the last ten years.

The charitable fairs are organized by “The Sail of Hope” foundation and Suvorovskiy District’s Education Department.

The schoolchildren of all the schools of the District prepare hand-made souvenirs to sell them at the fair. The souvenirs could be purchased in every school of the District, and the donations will be collected in the special moneyboxes, too.
