More than 2,300 gifts were distributed to orphans and half-orphans via our “Help for Widows in Ukraine” project. Children who recently lost a loved one in the war, were especially touched by the gesture. Also, children from 120 families of widows in Moldova<\/b><\/span> received gifts as well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Girls from the children’s home in Siliguri (Northeast India) were overjoyed to receive new dresses as Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n<\/div>
