Metis
A group that works to overcome discrimination and hardship faced by mixed-race children in Russia. December 16th - A Christmas Celebration – 16:00 at the Central Children’s Russian Library, Oktyabrskaya Square, #1. We are looking for sponsors: we need money to invite some artists, and to buy presents. Our children can perform songs and poetry, but we don’t have a teacher who will lead them. Anybody is cordially invited to a program of events to celebrate Christmas and learn more about the work of the Metis Charity.
