Our 2025 Christmas campaign brought a lot of joy
Dear friends and supporters,
We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous support of our Christmas campaign. With your help, we were able to fulfill the children’s and young people’s heartfelt wishes and give them a peaceful and happy Christmas.
We received 4,540€ in donations, a big Aciu for that.
Christmas at PATRIA – a successful surprise
The young people in the PATRIA program were amazed when they opened their Christmas present. This time, Santa brought an electric blender and a cookbook with recipes for healthy and vitamin-rich dishes.
“A great gift, we are very grateful to the Association for the Promotion of Children and Youth in Lithuania,” said Gabija and Akvile happily.
Christmas magic also in the Sonata House
As every year, Christmas was a warm celebration at Sonata’s house. The caregivers provided the children with a joyful evening with beautiful decorations and delicious food.
The “Kaledu senelis”, as Santa Claus is called in Lithuanian, brought the presents on Christmas morning according to Lithuanian custom. 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.
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 protégés.
Cosnova
We would like to express our very special thanks to the company Cosnova from Schwalbach/Ts. We have been receiving valuable support from Cosnova for 13 years now. Without the generous and sustainable donations, we would not be able to maintain the PATRIA training program to the usual and very successful extent. Thank you very much!
Sponsor trip 2026 from August 27-30
Would you like to take a look at our work, get to know our protégés and their beautiful home? Then join us on this year’s sponsorship trip. Our team looks forward to seeing you.
Starting a new year with new ideas and plenty of motivation
You can rest assured that we will continue to support disadvantaged children and young people in Lithuania with our usual energy and warmth in the new year. There are many wonderful success stories, new ideas and new projects. We would like to tell you about them in the coming newsletters.
All of this is only possible because you, dear friends and supporters, stand by our side.
We send you a big Aciu for this, together with our warmest regards and very best wishes for a good year 2026,
Your Board of Directors of Kinder- und Jugendförderung in Litauen e.V.
