And it unites not only on the playground. July 8 at 10.00 in Kharitonov park (Karla Liebknechta St, 44), just before the opening of the XII International Volleyball Tournament among women’s national teams for the Yeltsin Cup, volleyball players of the teams-participants of the Yeltsin Cup – teams of Russia, the Dominican Republic, Japan, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and others – together with young volleyball players of Uralochka children’s sport school and children from the orphanage, charges of Trust Charitable Foundation of Olga Kotlyarova “Our children” will check how their trees planted a year ago stroke the roots and plant the alley with new seedlings. The purpose of such campaign is to maintain the interest of the citizens to volleyball and be a symbol of succession between the already merited and apprentice sportsmen.
A year ago during the first so called joint garden works of famous volleyball players, their successors and children from the orphanage World Volleyball Alley appeared in Kharitonov Park. This was a hedgerow along a park road on both sides in a meter away from the curb. Five-finger and evergreen thorn seedlings were chosen for the Alley.
Blocker of Uralochka-NMTK and Russian team Irina Zaryazhko actively participated in last year campaign and intends this year to check her tree.
Plants are our future and planting of greenery is useful and wonderful, – says Irina, – I think that if this campaign will lead to some victories, the children’s choice of sport, this will be great.
I decided to take part in this campaign because I want to help children and work with them, – said Cuba team player Emily Borrell last year. – And I am so pleased to see the children happy at this moment. It was great that the children were laughing and they had a positive motivation.
Just like a year ago shovels, holes for seedlings, watering cans filled with water and, of course, overalls and gloves will be prepared for the participants of the campaign. Well media is also welcomed to help volleyball players, young athletes and children from orphanages! Seedlings and shovels are enough for everyone!
