Good thing they helped with cleaning and yard work. The children at the school in Zelenograd learned more than in any lesson by staying there for a whole week.

Yes, cleaning and outdoor work have caught on well with the children. Here, at the services in Constanța, we saw how the children change when they put their hand to the hoe or sweep for a week. Have you also been with a group to such a slat?

In Krasnodar, we also went to such rallies a couple of times with our Sunday school, and for a week the children remembered how they painted the fence and weeded the beds in Maklakovo. It’s good that they not only took you to services, but actually harnessed you to work - this teaches you better than any conversation. How many children were there in that group from Zelenograd?

Yes, a week of real work in the monastery does more than any book. Here, in Timișoara, the children who came last summer to the monastery in Banat returned with beaten hands and with a joy that we did not see in school. Have you been with the group from Zelenograd to any other slat?

Наши из Зеленограда в Маклаково каждый год ездят, и дети потом действительно вспоминают не службы, а как красили забор и таскали ветки после урагана. У нас в прошлом году группа была человек тридцать, и педагоги говорили, что после такой недели в воскресной школе дисциплина заметно лучше стала. А сколько примерно детей было в этот раз?
