[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As usual, this is the time of the year to say thank you to everybody who have supported us and to sum up what we have done during the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of 2017 the \u201cA Door for Life<\/strong><\/a>\u201d project officially started for the boys and girls from \u201cBykovsky Detsky Dom\u201d orphanage in Moscow. Also thanks to YOUR help we have been able to provide tutoring and classes on English, Russian, Chemistry, Choreography, to help teenage boys and girls take their exams. And we are very happy now to know they all succeeded. Read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year we have supported the project \u201cSteps<\/strong><\/a>\u201d and the program \u201cHome Alone<\/strong><\/a>\u201d for boys and girls from Mytischi orphanage in Moscow. \u201cSteps\u201d and \u201cHome Alone\u201d are two projects for social adaptation of children, for their independence and self-reliance. This has been possible also thanks to you.<\/p>\n

After the great experience of RIDE TO MOSCOW last year, 2017 has been the year for RIDE TO DOLOMITI<\/strong><\/a>. It was a unique and very challenging experience, 5 days, 700 km and 12000 meters of elevation gap by bike across the Dolomites to raise money. Thanks to YOUR help and of those who have supported us through sponsorships and donations, RIDE TO DOLOMITI has raised around 15.000 Euro<\/strong>, which will be fully paid to activities in favour of children.<\/p>\n

We end 2017 with the great satisfaction of carrying out all projects and achieving all goals we set one year ago, with a strong motivation to do more and more. We end this year with another big project on the agenda for 2018. After three years of support activities in Russia \u2013 which won\u2019t stop \u2013 we want to extend our and YOUR support to children in Thailand<\/strong>. We will do this supporting a charity foundation which operates on site. Read here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Stay with us: the new journey has just began!<\/p>\n

\u201cA journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

From all of us, best wishes for a Merry Christmas and happy 2018<\/strong>![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″]
