New Year’s Celebration in the Botkin Hospital

The New Year’s Celebration in the Botkin Hospitalis a traditional activity of the Caritas project providing assistance to HIV-positive people in St. Petersburg. It is carried out for the patients whose state of health doesn’t allow them to celebrate the holiday at home with their relatives.

The main objective pursued by the staff of the project is to cheer up the patients and give them a feeling of celebration in this difficult time.

This time, the celebration was held on December 30. Christmas tree was dressed up, gifts were prepared, and a tea table was covered. Volunteering artists from the Our Lady Fyodorovskaya Icon Parish prepared a wonderful entertainment: there were songs with a guitar, performances, and gifts...

Many thanks to all participants for their kindness and readiness to help!
