This camp is based on innovative methods allowing young patients and their family members to experience social, educational and physiological recovery after a long medical treatment.
This year for the first time, children patronized by the Charity Fund of Konstantin Khabenskiy, a famous Russian actor, took part in the camp.
Children will remember their weeks spent in the camp as a special time full of adventures, discoveries and new friends. They were able to learn the basics of cartoon animation, visit the cultural and educational center “Etnomir”, go camping, practice beautiful crafts, and most importantly they received great psychological support.
Directors from the St.Petersburg cartoon studio “Da” were teaching special guests of the recovery camp. With their help children created one of the episodes of the cartoon series “A short history of aviation”. It is not only the first cartoon worldwide dedicated to aviation and created by children, but also an efficient art-therapy method. Children worked themselves at the screenplay, drew and voiced characters as well as mastered cartoon technologies.
Transaero has been cooperating with major Russian charity funds for more than five years to implement the “Back to the Future” social program. The main objective is to contribute to children’s healthcare. The program includes transportation to major clinics in Russia and abroad for children suffering with oncological, hematologic and other serious diseases as well as the recovery program for disabled children.
Due to this project more than 1400 young patients received the necessary early treatment and more than a thousand children went through rehabilitation. Transaero’s corporate charity program is rated as one of the three best in Russia according to research by the daily business newspaper Vedomosti, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Donor’s forum partnership.
