From December 6th in the children's park Fili and the park Nikulino "Letter to a Soldier" workshops will begin in the west of the capital. They will be part of the project Winter in MoscowWhile children write letters of support, adults will learn how to weave camouflage nets and create helmets. On the same day, new collection points for humanitarian aid for special military operations (SMO) participants will open.
Activities for children
Under the guidance of experienced teachers, young Muscovites will create three-dimensional compositions from colored paper and cardboard with words of gratitude addressed to military personnel. Workshops titled "Thank You for Life," "We Are Proud!", "Flowers for the Heroes!", "New Year for Our Own," and "Kind Postcards for Our Own" will also feature stories about soldiers serving in the SVO zone.
"We're thrilled to be able to take part in this noble cause—delivering essential supplies to the soldiers. And the children will send our defenders a little warmth from their hearts—handmade New Year's cards wishing them a speedy return home. May these letters warm the soldiers in the trenches and create a festive and cozy atmosphere," shared Anna Smirnova, a resident of the Filevsky Park district.
The woman plans to come to the Fili Children's Park on the opening day of the patriotic playground with her three-year-old son, Lev. He can't yet write, but he's preparing to draw a red star and a Christmas tree for the defenders.
Master classes for adults
Adult visitors to Nikulino Park will be able to learn how to weave camouflage nets and other protective equipment. Volunteers will be on hand to conduct workshops. Information on suitable materials and installations demonstrating the techniques will also be posted.
At the Fili Children's Park, volunteers will teach adults how to make helmets.
