Help us to save our Russian association "Lukachka" in Pezenas!!!
<p>Hello everyone!<br />
We are a Russian cultural association "Lukachka", based in Pezenas, in the south of France.<br />
Founded 5 years ago by some young moms - enthusiastic, our association aims to preserve our culture of origin for Russian-speaking children, born in France.</p>

<p style="text-align:right"><em>Our finest company celebrating a </em><em>religious and folk holiday</em><em> of Maslenitsa :) </em></p>
<p>We value this <em><strong>precious opportunity</strong></em> to teach them the Russian language and to get acquainted with the literature, cultural traditions and history of Russia.<br />
This immensely important immersion in the <em><strong>bilingual linguistic environment</strong></em> - from an early age and in a small community - allows our children to keep their roots and to blossom in the spirit of openness to the world and in respect of any cultural tradition.</p>

<p style="text-align:right"><em>The Russian beauty :)</em></p>
<p>Our second main axis of teaching belongs to the field of art.</p>
<p><br />
As part of our "<strong>Easy Drawing and Painting for Everyone</strong>" workshops, our little artists learn the <em><strong>artistic language</strong></em>, develop their imagination and experiment their creativity through different techniques. Thanks to the <em><strong>particularly effective methods</strong></em>, they arrive at surprising results!<br />
These workshops, initially animated in Russian, are now bilingual so that gives an excellent possibility for <strong><em>French children to join us</em></strong> and follow both artistic and linguistic directions.</p>

<p><strong>LOUBIERE Tatyana</strong></p>
<p>Always attracted by all artistic and creative expression, it is with a great interest and pleasure that Tatyana studied at the Art School in Russia. This experience was very useful both for her training at the Moscow Institute of Architecture, traditionally demanding in the mastery of artistic subjects, and later in her job as an architect. In France - inspired by the common creative experiences with her children and thanks to the enriching encounters that motivated her researcher spirit - she returns to her passion which takes on a new dimension: to transmit her artistic skills to others through some teaching methods based on efficiency, fun and adapted to all.</p>

<p>DEAR FRIENDS!</p>
<p>TODAY is for us the <strong><em>question of existence</em></strong> !!!</p>
<p>Our teachers and children are eagerly awaiting the start of their classes, but our members can no longer collect a sum necessary to support the needs of the association.</p>
<p>This sum is to be paid as soon as possible, the delay would be the beginning of the next school holidays in two weeks approximately.</p>
<p style="text-align:right"><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/546918/photo_modif_2__33_sur_37_-1539037477.jpg" width="100%" /><em>We need your support!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right"> </p>
<p><strong>WE HOPE TO HAVE YOUR HELP AND PLEASE TO PARTICIPATE FINANCIALLY IN OUR PROJECT SO THAT OUR ASSOCIATION CAN OPEN ITS DOORS FOR ALL CHILDREN</strong> (any age and origin).</p>
<p><br />
Thank you so much!!!</p>
<p>What will the collection be used for:</p>
<p> ANNUAL EXPENSES OF THE ASSOCIATION</p>
<p><br />
These are, first of all,<em><strong> current expenses</strong></em>:<br />
- insurance for our members - 170 €;<br />
- renting rooms for Russian classes and artistic workshops - 250 €;<br />

<p>Finally, it is the <em><strong>organization of Russian traditional festivals</strong></em> with shows, decorations and costumes (Orthodox Easter, Russian Christmas, Mardi Gras ...), a true expression of our cultural belonging, which feeds our associative spirit - 430 €</p>
