I’ve always wanted to work with kids, and the opportunity to combine this with my love for Russia was impossible to turn down! Running the project we experience a huge variety of emotions and see some huge transformations as well as some really depressing situations.
The most uplifting moments are definitely seeing kids gradually realizing the importance of leading a healthy, productive and active lifestyle and absolutely loving all the opportunities we offer them!
Working with our team of Russian staff and also closely with other NGOs and government bodies has really opened my eyes to the extent of the social problems in Russia, and I’m proud to be running a project which is working effectively to change things on a grass-roots level.
