WOD -2022 campaign started in Russia ( Yaroslavl) in June with two events which involved children in the English language center “LingvArts” and the orphanage “Solnechny”.
The goal was to let them watch videos made by the European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, to talk about the importance of keeping their bones strong and healthy since early childhood. Their attention was drawn to exercising and eating nutrient food, rich in calcium and Vitamin D.
The kids wrote letters to Samantha and made some drawings which were delivered to her. At the moment she is on a space orbit but she responded to children sending her greetings. The children and adults were thrilled to hear from her from space. We all are grateful to IOF.
