Children’s Christmas wishes
A SOCIAL PROJECT THAT TEACHES KIDS TO REACH THEIR GOALS AND HELPS FULFIL THEIR DREAMS
About the project
The non-profit organization ‘Saugi pradzia’ has been implementing the annual social project ‘Children’s Christmas wishes’ for nine years already. This is a project, during which the dreams of children living in foster care are fulfilled, and they are encouraged to reach their defined goals, independent, creative thinking is promoted and it is emphasized that the most important thing is to make an effort yourself to make your dreams come true.
During the project the children from foster care and day centers draw, glue, paint and in many other ways create postcards for Christmas full of warmth that reaches everyone. On the other side of such postcard the name, age and the social institution is written.
For every postcard made, the kids get paid. They can add this sum of money to their savings for their dream.
Every year the postcards authors’ dreams are registered on the website www.saugipradzia.lt , which is available for everyone willing to make them come true before and after Christmas. ‘The kids have been waiting for this project and want to participate in it. Thank you for this beautiful idea’ – says the art leader of the extra-curricular activities at the ‘Lentvaris’ kids foster home.
Every year this project involves foster homes, day centers, support centers, kids social services’ centers from all Lithuania. Every year more and more of social organizations join this project.

Additional activities
The organizers of the social project ‘Children’s Christmas wishes’ – are very similar to the Santa’s elves: they do not stop at the Christmas postcards, and during all the year of the project carry out many various different additional activities: a surprise visit of Santa, dance lessons or a lecture with successful businessmen about achieving goals at foster homes, selling postcards and handicraft at Christmas fairs.
Some companies prefer to get postcards made by a specific foster home, to be able to give to the participating kids later on by fulfilling their dreams. Other companies donate their own production, which ‘Saugi pradzia’ delivers to foster home with great joy. Many years privately interested persons also demonstrate great initiative to fulfil the dreams of postcards’ authors.
Please join the project too – this way you can make a nice surprise for your loved ones by giving warm wishes crafted by the hands of children, and contribute to the lessons about reaching goals as well as helping to fulfill the dreams!
