This petrol engine go-kart was kindly given to ARC by Leigh & Nick Brassington who were moving back to Australia.  Some maintenance will be needed before it is back in good working condition and so we decided to offer it to Good Deeds Initiative, who were delighted to receive it. 

One of the GDI team leaders, Grisha Kvyatkowsky, came to collect the go kart so that the youngsters can start working on it.  Grisha will be coordinating this particular project.

We look forward to being able to report on the go kart once it is finished and in use!

Warm thanks to the "Moscow Mellow Divas" choir for making us one of the beneficiaries of their Christmas concerts, which took place on 7th and 9th December 2011. We enjoyed listening to you in the beautiful setting of the Norwegian embassy while tasting delicious mince pies and wine.

Your performance certainly put us in the right mood for Christmas. 

Thank you again, Divas for raising 60,000 Roubles for ARC!
