One of the highlights of our trip was to witness Siblings Reunions! Siblings living in separate orphanages were able to spend some time together...thanks to Antares sponsors!

Siblings from Sokolovka and Poludino were brought to the RBS camp to spend the day with their siblings. It was a special time for these children and they cherished every moment together. There were not as many sibling sets as usual because some children go to stay with relatives during the summer break. There was also some confusion....some children arrived and their siblings were elsewhere....some with relatives...and the children who live in the Children's Village were not at the RBS camp this summer...but their younger siblings did not realize that until they arrived. There were some tears...but older RBS children helped to welcome them and make their time there special.

It was a beautiful day, and the children were able to spend some quality time together outdoors. As always, the time went by quickly, and there were tears when it was time to say "good-bye".
Thanks to the sponsors who made these siblings reunions possible!
