Although an unstable situation in the world persists, we continue growing the number of events available to our recipients online. Thanks to your support, we are able to grow despite challenging times. Over the last 3 months we were able to help approximately 150 people!
We launched two online groups for psychological support with our Lead Psychologist. Originally we were planning to have one group, but due to high demand, we created two groups. They started running on a bi-weekly basis from April 1st. We also continued our art therapy courses in 2021 and completed a second course consisting of 5 sessions in April. As we strive for continuous improvement, our art therapy psychologist renewed the program this year and now we call it “Art Therapy 2.0”. Additionally, we continue having online art classes with different instructors and had 7 classes over the last 3 months.
Moreover, our famous photo sessions are slowly coming back! We had 4 photo sessions across 3 different cities in Russia: Tomsk, Vologda, Belgorod, and Orehovo-Zuevo. Our branch in Samara has been very active in 2021 and conducted a number of different events supporting oncology patients including art therapy, yoga, and culinary master class.
As part of our educational and informational work we had 5 Instagram live chats with oncology doctors and psychologists. On average about 100 people join every live chat.
We were able to grow a lot in the last 5 months and we would love to be able to maintain this growth in order to help more oncology patients to go through these challenging times. Your support was an incredible help and we hope to continue sharing amazing results with you.
