Our holydays

Football club “Brownie” under Odessa Charity Foundation “The Way Home” took part in the first inter-regional indoor soccer championship within the bounds of the project “Red Card to Child Neglect”.

It so happened that not the strongest team of “Brownies” went to Ternopol (the place of competitions). Pasha Ivanchenko and Denis Ivanchenko couldn`t go with the team for different reasons, and major coach of “Brownies” German Shuyskiy had problems at the main job. That’s why, in Ternopol the fitness coach Michael Rikun acted the charges of major coach. He is a teacher a leveling school in secular life.

The “colleagues” in the project “Red Card to Child Neglect” from Kiev and Donetsk, boys from Lvov (football club “Lvov”), the team from Vasilkov (Kiev region) and 3 football teams from Ternopol took part at the tournament besides “Brownies”.
The organizers of the competitions distributed 8 teams to 2 groups. Two Ternopol teams and boys from Kiev became the rivals to “Brownies”. Unfortunately, in the group “Brownie” took the last place, they gave in to all competitors and scored only one goal (Vanya Kazaryants distinguished himself in direct kick).

At the next day in the butt game for 7-8 places “Brownies” gave in to the team from Vasilkov.
The team from Kiev and youth team of Football club “Lvov” met in the final opposition of the tournament. Football players from Kiev piped at the post with the score 3:2 in the intensive struggle, in spite of the sympathy of the spectators to the boys from Lvov.
Yes, “Brownies” lost in all of the games, but they received valuable game experience, because it was the first such tournament for the whole team. Inmates of Way Home got to know to children from other places, saw other boys playing, were plunged into the atmosphere of sports holiday. Here it is, social rehabilitation and adaptation of crisis teenagers, this is the main idea of the project “Red Card to Child Neglect”.

By the way, we need to mention the Odessa team became the only, which had girls in the team. Anya Vandler and Olya Petrusevich started training relatively recently, but Maryam Hansevyarova and Rita Bezverhaya are already experienced players and in addition Rita invariably plays in the first team of “Brownies”.

Anatoliy Demyanenko, the captain of Soviet Union national team, possessor of Cup Winners' Cup in “Dinamo” team in 1986, conducted awarding of teams, who took part in the competition. During the awarding of Odessa team Anatoliy Vasilievich specially thanked girls for taking part in the competitions and wished success to the team in further matches. Every player of “Brownies” doesn`t doubt that many matches will be in future.

The first month of the Way Home inmates staying at the summer tent camp comes to an end. I suggest to looking through the events which took place at the summer life of children for this time.
I think, we have to begin with the location of the camp.

The settlement Primorskoye is spread at the Budakskaya spit, in Tatarbunarskiy district, at the south of Odessa region. The name of the place says about its location near the sea. Quite cute firth is also situated there besides the sea, that`s why kids have the choice where to bathe. Naturally young tourists prefer to go to the sea, although it is a bit far from the camp (only two kilometers).
The next point – who rests at the tent camp? Of course, kids do! The inmates of the Way Home and their friends. The teachers and volunteers – the leader of the camp Vladimir Yemelyanovich Komarnitskiy, the teacher Nikita Ilchenko, the choreographer Oksana Ternavskaya, the teacher Inna Lazaryuk – live in the tents with the kids. The whole stuff, except for the leader of the camp, relieve one another each week. The most cunning someone stays to rest for two or three weeks. Vladimir Yemelyanovich (or as children call him - Yemelyanich) refuses point-blank to go to the city even for some days (he likes to be there very much).

Many volunteers are at the camp besides the workers of the Fund. They are “hot Estonian guy” Mihal and his compatriot Sirley, American Robert Gamble, Italian Claudio Corbelli and girls from Odessa Alla and Anya. In one world – International.
What children do at the camp? I think, that everybody, who had ever been to the summer camp, can guess what children do there. Children play, rest, bathe at the sea, ride bicycles, climb on the trees and do various interesting events. Robert Gamble, the friend of all kids, has helped with the bicycles. He has bought five bicycles for young tourists with psychologists Alla and Anya. So kids now study new kind of sport – cycle racing. They say that they master it actively and productively.
Children live in tents of three or four, and they didn`t idle and built a house on the tree. Beautiful environs are observed from this house and the views deserve attention (if you don`t believe me, you can watch the photoes). It wouldn`t be interesting if children didn`t have bungee jump. I haven’t seen in my dreams such things, that Serega Yakovlev does on the bungee jump.

Oleg Tuleybich and Grinya Moiseev with Estonian Mihal master playing guitar and drums. May be kids will give a concert to local citizen, for example at the closing day of the summer camp. But we plan to hold this closing day not earlier than at end of august, so kids have time to prepare.
They have time not only to master musical instrument, but to have a rest and to gather strength before new school year.

Oksana Ternavskaya, Nikita Ilchenko and Olga Alekseeva shared experiences.
