Social changes have thrown many Russian children out in the streets, making them homeless and penniless. The organizations that attempt to help these children have often found themselves similarly homeless and penniless. With politicians and the government officials minding their own problems, the children, who are least responsible for the revolutions that the adults have initiated, find themselves in a hard spot. Facing the most difficulties are the children with special needs and medical problems. Even those children with parents are sometimes not immune from trouble as their parents, angered by the loss of all their money in the economic transition, submerge them to physical abuse.

In the summer, we take children to the south of Russia to mountain tent camps, where they cook for themselves, help geologists and rescuers, revive the old camel trade routes and heal themselves. 

This is the Children’s Path, that they walk, healing themselves and nature at once.
