Volunteers of RUDN University make a fest for the children of the family center
RUDN University Volunteer Center has been friends with the “Attraction” family center for 6 years. This year the fest was organized by 12 students from African countries. Together with the children, they performed traditional dances of African countries, played drums, maid braids and learned to draw with henna.
“I like talking with children. They do charge my batteries! I taught them to play African drums, and they were very good. The kids asked us about the countries where we came from, life and traditions. But most of all I liked the question: how long does it take to be in the sun to tan like that!” says Arnaud Sossu (Benin), “International Relations”, 3rd year.
“We tried to give the kids a real fest. And I’m glad that I could see smiles on their faces. I hope to come here again and spend even better time with the children,” Joseph Starlone Peter (Tanzania), General Medicine, 2nd year.

“Attraction” is a center that supports families with adopted children. The center helps parents solve legal problems, as well as provide psychological, pedagogical, medical and social assistance.
On a Sunday winter day at the exhibition named “Russia” RUDN University gathered students, partners, colleagues, and organized lectures under the title “We are different! We are equal! We are together!” The event took place in Pavilion 57 on the platform of the Russian Society “Znanie”. And on this day the hall was jam-packed.
The event was attended by more than 350 students from Russia, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia. The students organized an exhibition of the fraternity, introducing the guests to national dances, treating them to Algerian coffee, Arabic sweets and talked about the culture and history of the people of the country. The week ended with a futsal tournament.
On the eve of the New Year, we are summing up the past 365 days and set new goals for the next year. Whatever we do — study, work or do research — we intend to conquer even higher peaks.
