Charity
This section highlights some of NEK’s charity activities, people whom we’re trying to help, and charity projects we’re involved in.
Certainly, the ultimate goals of any commercial company are success and profit. Yet materials gains become worthless if business neglects humanitarian values. That’s why we strive to do all we can to help those in need.
Over the years our Company has established itself as a charity-aware organization; NEK traditionally provides help in such areas as:
- Help for children.
Health programs for children
Kids believe in miracles. They believe in Santa Klaus, in wizards and fairies, in funny gnomes. Kids believe that good always conquers evil, and that any tale has a happy ending. They believe that even when things turn really-really bad someone big and strong will interfere and will put things right.
We grownups can make such miracles happen. It’s simple: we only need to give children what they need most – love and protection.
Helping kids with eyesight problems
NEK Company participates in a joint UN/UNESCO program ‘Give each blind child a book’. The program helps to involve children with impaired eyesight into the system cultural values and expand their capacity to adapt and live a full life.
Unique convex books are created in close cooperation with prominent psychiatrists and best illustrators.
The program teaches children love for reading and desire to learn. Besides illustrated books support them emotionally and motivate them join other children in common games. Thanks to the program the world becomes brighter and happier in the eyes of a blind child.
“Rodnichok” (springlet) orphanage. Our little friends.
On the bank of the Volga river, in the Tver region, there is an ancient beautiful town of Kalyazin.
It’s not big but notable. With its own history, culture and traditions.
In this town, on a small riverside Cheluskintsev street, there is the “Rodnichok” orphanage.
In “Rodnichok” family groups upbringing is in practice. 15 children between the ages of 3 to 18 years reside in isolated houses. Brothers and sisters reside together. Child minders work by 24 hours as in own family, get children to bed and wake them up. It helps to understand each child better. Child minders note that sense of responsibility for each other is formed among the children; they understood that the elder is responsible for the younger. According to teachers’ mind the main thing is to arrange children daily routine properly and to direct their energy in the right direction. Boys and girls from “Rodnichok” have difficult childhood due to problems in their families. Probably in the orphanage talents will be opened and vocations will be determined.
In Kalyazin orphanage they try to develop children’s talents. If you like to draw – do it, like to knit, make something needful – you’re welcome, all wishes are supported.
Our participation in orphans’ life is very important. Help in gaining life experience means giving children possibility to see more of the world, to touch it.
Is it possible to help them? Possible and necessary! Sometimes it’s incredibly difficult but this friendship is most required for them, friendship with those who really wants and can help.
How? Communication. Serious, with an eye to the future. To amuse them with rare presents is not enough. It’s necessary to visit them, to communicate and help to believe in future. They are open for all who is sincerely kind to them.
Fun as well as work brings us together. Not accidentally we planned to work during our first big visit, to repair children’s rooms. Then was the main thing that we became friends. Children remembered us, assessed and meet with pleasure now. And we are thankful for this friendship and trusting.
Life was hard to the kids to deprive them of parents.
But they must live having good and reliable friends. With our help.
