In September, teachers, children and their parents will be able to start the school year again with a kind help for those children who cannot come to school on their own.
Twelve-year-old Natasha is waiting for a new walker, according to the Orthodox service “Mercy”. With a severe form of cerebral palsy, the girl is very active, and this year she had a growth spurt, and her walker, which helped her be independent, became small.
It will also be possible to pay for regular children’s classes with a speech therapist, a defectologist and other specialists for seven-year-old Serezha, who lives in the Hagia Sophia social home. The child has developmental disabilities and cannot yet go to school. It is difficult for her to control his emotions and maintain attention for a long time.
