The Children's Center "Lighthouse" Christmas party
The Children's Center "Lighthouse" Christmas party took place on the 22nd of December.
The children's center has about 25 children, aged 7-15. They are offered study assistance, warm home-cooked food thanks to the help of the Food Bank, solutions are found for their worries, and leisure activities are organized - visits to a trampoline center or a cinema and a week of camping in the summers.
What made this year's Christmas party special was that each child was able to send their gift request to Santa Claus, and we made sure that everything was fulfilled. The long-awaited headphones, boots, easels, and legos got new caring owners. In addition, took place the annual Christmas concert, where everyone could show their skills. The presentations included a couple of poems and a play.
Village of hope
The Estonian Association of Architects (EAA) announced an idea competition for urban installations on the green revolution, from which three winning works were selected from 28 received designs. On Freedom Square, 5000 wooden logs were placed as part of Mark Grimitliht's installation "A Thought Break". The author wanted people to think about the course of trees in Estonia, their superficial attitude towards trees, and the possible outlook for the future.
In cooperation with the Village of hope, LC Tallinn Reval helped find a new use for the 3000 trees on Freedom Square. Within the framework of joint work, the offers arrived in the Village of hope for furnace heating to provide warmth to the residents there in winter.

Deaconess Hospital support
