Everyone heard about charitable foundations, saw the collectors of trifles in stores, read calls on the pages of the Internet. Do you know what the charity fund looks from the inside?
We entered the " Creation " fund and, in fact, removed what and how. They penetrated suddenly. To be honest, I wanted sensations and revelations. I expected to see a clean office with kind and cultural ladies. Good and cultural ladies in stock, and otherwise, the spontaneous working atmosphere of sorting of material assistance raged.
The working mess and creative chaos, over whom four little good women reigned, Elena Smirnova , Valentina Egorova , Tatyana Gorina and Anechka Chudnova, with cute cleaners of MTS Ira and Oksana, who very quickly dodged the cell. They did the right thing, since the photographer of me is a curve, but what happened, it turned out ... be condescending, dear reader.
Unfortunately, there were no two other good creators: Elena Timoshina, the chief specialist for medical issues, and Elena Gorbunova was sick, give her a god of health.
We will begin to inspect the refuge of the Creation Charitable Foundation, they are also “creators”, or simply “Creators”, to reduce pathos. :-)
I warn you!
There will be a lot of adorations and tenderness, I immensely love creators for their 11 years of work and monthly reporting . For their honesty and reputation, constant holidays and promotions, lightness and kindness. I am in love with these young ladies seriously and for a long time. It’s just that physically it is impossible to write critically and dig the cons. Excuse me, incredulous readers. Come to visit them on Magnitogorskaya, 7 and expose. I didn’t succeed, I am recruited to the fans of the fund and cynic sleeps. :-(

Egorova Valentina ... A very comfortable lady, just a warm and kind smile. She handed me a huge bottle and showed where the cooler is. The young ladies wanted tea. After the holiday, the “pies and gingerbread” remained the pies and gingerbread!

A stand with diplomas, next to a piece of the second stand ... Then the stands are over, and the letters are folded on the shelf.

Glasses "creation"; By the way, why glasses, if these are mugs?! They found me green. I just could not get away from the philanthropists without a gift and still crooked the badge and pie!
Tatyana Gorina finds out color preferences from me.
By the way, Tatyana is not just an employee of the fund, but the founder of the whole dynasty of philanthropists. She is the mother of Ekaterina Milova .
The girl lived quietly and calmly, but under the influence of her mother began to volunteer, and now the executive director of " All Together ". This meeting unites all truly charity organizations. Here, according to "all together," you can go criticism from the heart, but the teams that in this association have one huge plus. They really do good deeds, not always effectively, in my opinion, but not parasites on the topic of help to the neighbor! Yes, and it is worth considering that in Russia charity in a serious sense is only beginning.
Here is such a family life.

This all does not lie for a long time. A constant flow of things here and from here. Everyone finds the owner, each little thing will arrive in time to where they need it.
The main problem of the fund is huge postage. You can and cheaper, but sending a parcel by mail is targeted help. The guarantee that help will get to the address, to those who really need, and not in the store or to the landfill.

How can a philanthropist prove that he, in fact, is doing positive things? Gratitude and reports .
There are no reports for me personally - there is no fund. A report on activity is the moment of the truth of any charitable team, even if the check is just photographed. Want to transfer money or things - look for reports, read and draw conclusions.
These letters lay on the table! I came to the Creation Foundation without preparation, for which I received a bit. It was necessary to warn, and the young ladies would have prepared tea, put things in order, everything is like adults. But I do not like tea, and the ostentatious order too. I prefer water and working atmosphere.
Some of the letters are laid out on the site and page on Facebook . Not all, just physically lacking hands to lead the site, scan all materials and write about the work of the fund, and it would be a pity, it would be great.

This photo shows the process of how I persuaded Elena Smirnova to make a strict official, for seriousness. It turned out?! However, look below. :-)

It turned out not very.
The situation is kind, sincere. Naturally, charity is a serious, sometimes tragic sphere. But it is impossible to work there without a smile and with a heavy character. People instantly burn out, are offended, small conflicts and squabbles begin. The heavier and emotionally more complicated the field of activity, the easier it is to be. Cunning people pass everything through themselves, and here it is impossible without a smile.

A miserable attempt to photograph the view from the window. This is the 6th floor. Now imagine how these cute women drag 2 wagons with canned goods and chips on the 6th floor. Introduced? I - no! And they carry; Fortunately, sometimes the neighbors of the MTS clerks help out, but at the sight of philanthropists they try to quietly avoid the fate of the movers.
And the most interesting thing is that sometimes they carry on the 6th floor on foot ... The elevator is broken. This is life. No, creators do not complain about generous people who decided to please children with chips. Yes, it is inconvenient, but it's good. Simply, if you have a wagon with sweets, and any fund refused to accept the gift-do not be offended, the reasons are usually banal ... nowhere to store. Better call the fund, talk, and everything can be done and easier and better.

This is a secret photo!
In this photo you see an example of a raider seizure in a vulture.
Creators received a load with chips ... and cried. There is a load, there is nowhere to store, and children will not interfere with children. Secretly, under cover of night, they penetrated the next office and forced the boxes. The owners of the premises, the MTS company, was furious into the fund ... But, seeing the innocent female faces and having received oath assurances that the room will be released tomorrow "here is literally, now, they’re going to pick up, everything will be clean + we will avoid!" - The landlords calmed down. "Tomorrow" has been going on for more than one week. :-)
MTSovts, if you read, well, they are wonderful ... well, hi will stand boxes. Please!

Elena has a wonderful property of character. Disguise!
Constantly in the thick of events, light, cheerful, always smiles. It is difficult to take Elena Smirnova seriously. But this is a facade, behind which a cunning smart analyst, an excellent organizer, a stubborn strategist. Try for 11 years to head the charity fund in Russia ... not a fund-laundry fund for money laundering, but a really valid fund with monthly reporting, holidays, a dynamic site, a huge number of friends. A really charity fund, and not Duskin’s office in the style of “ah, look, we do good ... and chop the loot.”
The fund is not a store, and not even a office of legal consultations, although this is also a considerable work. This is charity, where they do not work for salaries, where hundreds of people are counting on you. Where you need to get from some and give it to others, remaining honest and sweet. Where is the slightest oversight - and you will be remembered for years, and the victory is perceived as an obvious and forced to understand. This is around the clock, 365 days a week, while maintaining calm and smile.
Could I? Hardly! These little good women can!

You won’t believe it, but the Creators were completely insolent and captured under the mat. A neighboring closet is also helping! But they oath assured that everything ... honestly ... this is the last captured territory !!! Here are the cross !!! Iron !!! And thoughtfully looked at the office opposite ...
By the way, about the MTS company, which sheltered the Creation Foundation.
It is very difficult to write about firms that help funds and volunteers. Dear reader or resource moderator immediately shout that this is an advertisement. Well, let the advertisements ... So, the MTSovites constantly help out charitable organizations: they help “creation” with the room, helped out tuguz with computers + employees themselves - people are very responsive. Thank you very much.
For 3 years in a charitable environment, I noticed: if a large company selling oil and other raw materials, or with state participation, then there are large large charitable organizations around it, whose work and shares are probably heard, probably hide! In turn, if the company is engaged in production, services, trade, without a share of state participation, then they help existing funds.
Tint networks are very helped out by the fact that they are allowed to put money collectors in stores. See one, throw a couple of rubles + it brings good luck. 99%that your ruble will get to the address.

In my opinion, cooperation with colleagues is important for any charitable foundation. If the fund is so right, and now they do good alone, and all other fools are stupid, then the fund will last 2 years, or they just earn money. Cooperation, and even in the field of charity, is extremely important. And not just a acquaintance - “Ah, yes, they heard about such” , namely mutual assistance.

And this is, in fact, a warehouse! God forbid, the squares are 25. Naturally, this is very little, so they organize raids on the closets and neighboring offices that he wrote above. The main thing is to make an innocent face after capture and feed the evil MTSovites with chocolates.

Well, how is it here to refuse to help bring the box to the 6th floor with a broken elevator? Well, how is it to be offended by the capture of a neighboring office?
Would you be offended?

Actually, the director’s desktop.

Pushnoye, Lazarev and Shatz - hope and support of the fund creation. Friends and patrons. Participants and organizers, and simply - great smart people. Not only they, but the entire Board of Trustees of the Fund: Leonid Melamed, Dmitry Zhurba, Konstantin Gramotnev, Yuri Rosta and Natalya Sindeeva.

I repeat, it is difficult to take Elena seriously. An adult, beautiful woman, and behaves like a child, says something, shows. There is some kind of pampering, and how can such an air person lead a large authoritative fund?! She dancing, instead of making the wise face of a knowledgeable person and thoughtfully look into the distance!
Then you notice that you are already sorting things and lower the bills in the piggy bank, and Elena continues to tell, show, smile. And here you are all so smart, cunning - already the creator himself.
Recruitment, but kindly. :-)

Business cards of the Foundation Friends.

Under the mat. Help uses every meter of area, including the entrance, it is also a way out.

Now there will be a tragic story!
There was a pretty charming young lady Anechka Chudnova. I went to work, prepared for the wedding. But the terrible thing happened ... The creators attacked a dark night and dragged him to visit, fed with buns and now - Anechka helps to sort things. Just joking, of course ... everything is by mutual wishes. :-)
But believe me, volunteering is really nice. People do not often do something good. No, of course, we are all good and wonderful, and grandmother across the road and caramel to children, but, to be honest, not often, what is there. And there is something in this, somehow cleaner and calmer in the soul, although this is personally my sensation.

Work was in full swing in the warehouse, these balls in the package are Bakugan ... I have no idea what it is, but the children love. People bring things, toys, food, they need to pack and convey to families and social institutions. Citizens, who read to this place, write you a small request. The philanthropists themselves will never ask, they are shy.
The request below

Things and toys are great. But it’s easier to take the address in the fund and send the parcel directly. But, if there is no way, throw off 100 rubles, there is no need much, charity is a sphere where participation is more important, it is more important not to be indifferent, and money is important, but not the most important thing.

The cleaning lady of MTS Oksana and the volunteer Anechka all the time, while I was visiting, dodged the camera, but before leaving I caught them against the background of the working situation!

Well, something like that, continuous tenderness. Now I’ll talk about the fact that it is necessary to provide assistance, about the fact that good deeds are good ... However, one picture is more expensive than a thousand words, see for yourself.

... And so the whole page of the fund.
PS , of course, turned out to be very sunny, but they are really positive. Come, check.
