The mission of the Kuluar is “To make people happy by opening up to them the world of the mountains.”
We do this all the time on our standard hikes, but we also want to open up the incredible world of the mountains to children who don't have the opportunity to go to the mountains on their own. That's why we regularly hold charity hikes for children from orphanages.
This year we organized a hike for the Swallow's Nest family-type orphanage. Hike participants: eight children and two chaperones.
Irina Timchenko, the manager of the Kuluar Club, organized everything.
Dmitry Sandul was the teamleader of the hike.
Here is his comment:
Three days in the Carpathians. For someone it is not enough, but for someone it is an incredible adventure, which one could not even dream of. That's how Kuluar made a dream come true for the children of a family-type orphanage. The hike took place on the scenic trails of the rocky Gorgan. During the trip, we climbed two peaks: Coffin and Parenki. We found shelter from the rain in the tourist shelter Plisce, where we spent two comfortable nights. In addition, we managed to eat raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and lingonberries, and cook mushroom soup from the ceps we found. And the most interesting thing is that during these three days two of the young participants of our hike celebrated their birthdays. And as Edik said on climbing the mountain, "This is the best birthday of my life!"
And the orphanage itself left a testimonial:
Kuluar organized a charity trip to the Carpathian Mountains for our family! They gave the children emotions that will not be forgotten for the rest of their lives! We are proud of our children, because they are the best!
The little tourists received real "Tourist Certificates" and a multifunctional baf bandage as a memento of this incredible trip.
We believe we've made kids fall in love with the incredible world of mountains!
