Ievgeniia joined Karen at the Faringdon Rotakids meeting this week to give out some very special gifts to the children. 

We had lots of fun learning about the Motanka dolls.

The first video here shows the children in Kharkiv receiving the friendship boxes sent by the Rotakids just after Christmas. 




And the video below shows Ievgeniia presenting the dolls to the Faringdon Rotakids.
