Children instead of flowers

A bouquet of one child for a teacher for 600 rubles is 6 bottles of medical nutrition for a child who cannot eat ordinary food

These actions and the slogan appeared in 2014 at the initiative of Asi Vladimirovna Stein, a teacher of the Moscow Lyceum. She offered all considerable funds that are spent on children's bouquets by September 1 for teachers, transfer to helping by incurable sick children, to the Vera and House with a Lighthouse.

The first flash mob was called it "living children instead of dead flowers." Now this wording sounds relevant in a special way. Emphasized humanistic, in order not to say anymore. In general, everything that is “about life” is especially valuable in the current realities.

Children's death, from a disease or from a catastrophe - the worst and irreparable that can happen in human life. It is not possible to save the lives that were not the disease, transferring funds to the action “Children instead of flowers”, alas, it is impossible.

But the participation of healthy children in collecting helping children sick is an antidote of despair and hope for the world.

And also, if you like, patriotic education. Which, if the “patriot” is responsible for the definition of “Patriot”, not at all in teaching children to shoot aptly, as in the Tyumen sports and patriotic center “Warrior”, which was proudly announced by the Tyumen Department of Sports. Because the result of any well -aimed shot is a destroyed life. Or do the shooting label have other quality indicators?

The action "Children instead of flowers" has different results. A bouquet of one child at a price of 600 rubles is six bottles of medical nutrition for a child who cannot eat ordinary food. “Bouquet” money of the same class - 15 thousand rubles - this is a special tube for a child who cannot swallow. A whole school - 171 thousand rubles - this is a humidifier for the IVL apparatus. This year, more than 500 schools in the country have already registered for participation in the action. You can register on the promotion website and find out all the details there.

Each year, the number of participants in the action and the collected amount is significantly increased. In 2020, 33 million rubles were raised, in 2021-43, and in the past 58.

Thousands of families throughout the country received help in which a sick child was in dire need of. They also got confidence that they can count on this help.

A visual conversion of expenses on the attributes of the holiday in maintaining a children's life. What could be more effective both in the sense of money, and in the sense of educating humanity?

The past year and a half of the new reality have changed the view of the value of life. Paradoxically, even exclusively humanistic and already familiar action - and the “Children instead of flowers” ​​are already 9 years old - now it is perceived especially sensitive. I think not only my focus of susceptibility to help those whose life on the edge was so sharpened.

Today, charity is the second front. So far, legal and not persecuted according to the new laws, which for the ruble to the fund, objectionable to the state, can let us down under the article of the Criminal Code.

“Children instead of flowers” ​​are a password today and a review for everyone who is against death.
