“MandarineLand 2019”: 10 Christmas events created by volunteers for 429 children from disadvantaged families and orphanages
You know that magic only exists when you believe in it?
🎄In the MandariniaLand all believes in magic – both adults and children. Even those children who in ordinary life often see not the wonders, but quite the contrary – weekdays many of them are much tougher and harder than ours. This project is exactly form them, and Mandarinialand every year is trying to bring to these children the faith to a miracles and in their own power, because they really can do miracles by themselves.
Maybe that’s why every year MandariniaLand is connecting so many kind and open-hearted people who wants to come and help.
💟This year Mandarinia collected 55 volunteers of all ages and destinies, which together spent 10 exciting Christmas events with the wonders of 429 children from orphanages, crisis centres, low-income families of Latvia, and also for children with special needs.
Because we believe everyone needs a good magic.
For us a volunteer is a person with soul facing outward. Giving up its heat and does not require anything in return. That is why our volunteers gets from children such emotional impact – children also feel that those people loves them just from the bottom of their hearts!
It’s nice that the tale and the volunteering involves not only adults, but also children… many people are joining to the project together with their families. It’s very cool when in the 13-14 years the child already understands that he can do something not only for themselves but also for others. It’s probably already become a tradition, but MandarineLand from the beginning in 2013 is not only the fairytale, but for many it has become a school of magic and kindness.
All volunteers-elves in MandariniaLand!
