One of Antares Foundations sweetest programs is the Siblings Reunion Program! Through no fault of their own, many orphans are separated from the ones closest to them, their siblings. Sometimes it is due to age. Or it may be due to behavior. Sometimes it is simply due to the fact of where there is an available bed.
Two years ago this month, was the very first Antares sponsored Siblings Reunion. Money was donated to pay for gas and expenses involved in taking older siblings from the Regional Boarding School Orphanage in Petropavlovsk to the preschool orphanage in Poludino. This year we have expanded our program, reuniting siblings at Sokolovka with their RBS siblings, and including siblings from the Children's Village in the RBS/Poludino reunions.
In honor of "Siblings Day" we would like to promote our Siblings Reunion program and raise funds for a Siblings Reunion Outing to the Park in Petropavlovsk, so siblings could have some extra special time together. Ideally, it would have been wonderful to arrange for this event to occur on April 10th, "Siblings Day." However the temperatures are still low this time of year in Petropavlovsk and many of the park activities are closed. So we decided to go ahead and promote this plan the week of "Siblings Day" and raise funds for the event to occur when the weather is warmer, probably the end of May or in June.
