It was a privilege to visit a school for neurodivergent children. We met the students, who gave us a tour of the facility, spent time in the classrooms, and were welcomed with countless hugs and smiles.  The children’s joy was contagious, and their warmth touched each of us.

We were also deeply impressed by the love, patience, and care shown by the teachers and staff.

As it was time to leave, the students walked us to our car singing beautiful songs. It was clear they were not ready to say goodbye…and neither were we.

This school was able to purchase new desks for its students through your donations, creating a more comfortable and welcoming learning environment. The DoL LA also helped sponsor a family festival, organized by the school, bringing students, parents, and the community together for a day of celebration.

The children shared songs and dances with us. Their enthusiasm, talent, and bright smiles filled our hearts with joy and reminded us of how much can be accomplished when people come together to support one another.

We took the day off…celebrating the Pink Soup Festival!

Today we had the privilege of co-sponsoring an annual festival that brings joy to disadvantaged children and Ukrainian refugees. The day was filled with laughter, games, creativity, and countless smiles. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with these amazing children and to share moments of kindness, encouragement, and togetherness.

Today we visited a school for Ukrainian refugee children in Vilnius. Through your donations and Vin Karnila’s assistance (Vilnius International Club), we were able to supply much-needed English books to the school. It’s a beautiful reminder that even small acts of charity can open doors to hope, confidence, and brighter futures.

Spending time with močiutes at the Rumbonys Home for Seniors was a true gift, with simple moments, warm hearts, and meaningful conversations. A beautiful reminder that kindness and connection create lasting memories.

Šilo School for Children with Special Needs. Different minds. Different Masterpieces. Crafting with neurodivergent kids today filled our hearts with love and joy.

“Hand in hand” with the kids from the Vilties Angelas Daycare Center, we spent a memorable afternoon learning the art of hand shadow puppetry!  

From our Mamų unija partners –

There is even more gratitude and joy in our everyday life.

The new Mamų unija vehicle is already traveling where it is needed the most. It holds even more goodies for little patients, even more warmth, and people who want to be there for those in need.

Every trip to events or hospitals becomes even more comfortable and cozy.

Big thanks to Daughters of Lithuania – Los Angeles for help in purchasing a comfortable vehicle – an important member of our “team”.

And Reklamos Injekcija – for car detailing.

Together we can do more.

From our Būkime kartu partners –

We invited a group of children from a care center to a fun afternoon of bowling.

While there were some talented bowlers in the group some of others displayed some very interesting “techniques” of throwing the ball down the alley

Their scores were not important, what was important is that everyone enjoyed the day.

After all this activity we knew the children would be hungry so our partner, Daughters of Lithuania LA, treated all the children to a pizza feast.

All Būkime Kartu events are charity activities of the Vilnius International Club
