This was followed by a meal together at the festively decorated table. The children spent the rest of the day together, playing with their presents. Aiste was delighted with a Lego flower set and a new drinking cup, Povilas with a Europa League ticket, Martynas with a complete soccer outfit and Dominykas with mini loudspeakers with a microphone.   <\/p>\n<p>The caregivers and social workers from PATRIA and the foster family at Sonata House also received gifts as a thank you for their valuable and loving care of our prot\u00e9g\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>  Cosnova  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We would like to express our very special thanks to the company Cosnova from Schwalbach\/Ts.
