One of the reasons I like this charity is that it is thoughtful about children's needs. I see this in the the way older children are helped to transition from being a child into a young, responsible adult. I have been reading about three youngsters from SOS Children's Village Borovljany, Belarus who live in a house escecially for children following further education. The house is only five minutes drive or 15 minutes walk from the SOS village where they grew up and where their SOS mother lives.

Holi is such a festival where children can let go and fulfill all their fancies.

The colourful activity memorably illustrates SOS Children's Villages' goals for the coming years.
