Graduates: ball does not like at all

Maneuvering on the days between the limousine, standing at the nearest school, and looking at the ninth, celebrating graduation (yes, they are now also doing it with feasts, fireworks, tinsel expensive), I recalled a recent conversation with a parent. She told me that in their school mom and dad threw off at night for children - students of the 11th class of "very modestly - 40 thousand rubles."

"Why so many?" - I did not understand.

"What do you mean why? - In turn, did not understand the parent. - Invite professionals to shoot a movie, rent a banquet hall, order the fireworks, we give a ring to the class teacher. "

No, I not surprised by the figure - not once seen in the social media debate about who is obliged to hand over much, and not the logic of mothers who think that the events that occur "once in a lifetime" should be pompous. Surprisingly adult selfishness.(red formal dresses)

And they believe that children want is this? And did all families can afford to "modestly 10-40 thousand"? Many parents specifically save up for graduation, to their sons or daughters were not worse than others. And because they are afraid: refuse to hand - your child will become an outcast.

Unfortunately, none of the city of our country, none of the schools have not grown to the level of even those schools that refuse to discharge and donate the money collected in the festive decorations, hospitals and charities.

But there are graduates different from Moscow, St. Petersburg and other peer ...

Ten and one Cinderellas fairy

"When I finished school, my class was a girl from a very poor family. Her mother worked, tried constantly to himself to save, but not enough money. My classmate had nothing to buy or sew prom dress, - says a resident of the Kaluga and the head of the Family Support Center of Maternity and Childhood "Life" Tatiana Pokhilenko. - At prom girl did not come.

Somehow, that episode of his and others' childhood are not forgotten. I now have the most four children, three of them - the girls, and I know what large families. And I understand how to live poor because our organization has often helped them. A year ago, we came up with a good design, which is able to carry out only now - all carefully planned and agreed with the Department of Education of Kaluga, schools and implemented. "(year 10 formal dresses)

In April, the Kaluga center announced that it would help the girls from large families or low-income families whose parents due to the difficult financial situation can not afford to buy or rent a dress for Prom evening daughters. Member of the charity project "Cinderella" and dressed, and taken to the makeup artists, hairdressers, cosmetologists, and sent to the ball.

"We are still only experimenting: will not work, so little girls - 10 people. But in all difficult situations, - says Tatiana Pokhilenko. - Two graduates are raising the widow. Allen, for example, raised the pope, without his wife and aides. The rest of the family - many children. "

With make-up artists, hairdressers and salons evening dresses Tatyana negotiated itself. The idea to turn the outlet into a fairy tale, to make invisible, shy but hardworking and kind of school girls queens balls like everyone I talked Pokhilenko.

"In the morning, before graduation, our" Cinderella "will meet in beauty salons. Prepare them for the event. We have already invited the great photographers who also volunteered to help. And then the girls go to your school. They are stunning dress - says Tatiana plans. - Such a beautiful, even breathtaking. Allen chose a dress with a long train. "You would not be able to wear it, - she urged. - How will dance, walk "" And I will dance, and walk?. I am a kindergarten of this dream. Let him for a day everything will change. "

The organizers are confident that beautiful dress, hairstyle and the attention surrounding their wards will not harm - yesterday schoolgirl see real life, accustomed to responsibility, in many ways do not resemble their peers from affluent families. Because it is grown under different conditions. Distinguish, where everyday life and where - the holidays. About the High Castle, limousines and princes do not dream. They just want to be in a short time favorite fairy tale ...
