🎶 Concert for Ochakov Orphanage – A Celebration of Joy and Connection
The talented young artists from The Nikolaev Palace of Education in Arts loaded up the buses and traveled south to the charming Black Sea village of Ochakov to perform for the children of the Ochakov Orphanage.
This event was more than just entertainment — it was a meaningful step in I WILL’s mission of social development, bringing together children from different backgrounds to share laughter, learning, and friendship.
The performances were spectacular, featuring dance and song numbers in full “command performance” dress. After the show, Michael Fitzgibbon added to the fun by tossing ice cream treats to the children — much to their delight and laughter at seeing an adult so joyfully join in the play.
Executive Director Tatiana Kotova gave a heartfelt address to the children and received many warm words from young girls who said they wished to grow up to be like her.
Our deepest gratitude goes to Vladimir Kotov, who organized the entire event — from gathering the performers and arranging buses to personally checking their mechanical condition and ensuring a safe journey for everyone.
