Family Day in Russia and Beyond

Yesterday we celebrated family day here in Russia. The history of the holiday goes back to 1993, when United Nations Organization pronounced May 15th to become an international family day. The main reason for creating the holiday was the desire of the members of UNO to attract attention of the society to the family matters. Each year UNO publishes messages on various important themes, such as in 2007 the theme was “Families and disabled people”.

In the Russian Federation the international family day was celebrated in 1995 for the first time. 2008 was announced as family year by the president of Russia.
This year lots of family events were planned, more than 100 only in Moscow. On the main square (Red square) members of families, with more than 3 children, formed a “live heart”, which is shown on the picture. In various parts of Russia a lot of fundrasing events were held in support of low income families or families which have more than 3 kids.
The members of our team also would love to wish your family all the best and we hope that our service helps you to stay connected and close to the members of your family.
