This weekend, whilst Hibs were doing over Rangers at Ibrox, Dnipro Kids had organised a nice surprise for one of the "family" orphanages ..
.. a new bike!
For those of you that follow our updates, you might remember that at the start of the year we purchased a new bike for each of the "family" orphanages that we support .. however .. the newest "family" orphanage joined us after that event so we decided to get them one as well.
Natalie organised the purchase of a new bike, but it was kept a secret from the orphanage. She arrived for a visit on Saturday, to see how the orphanage and the kids were getting along. After greeting the family she invited them outside for a small gift .. and she tells us that the look on the boy's faces when they received their new gift was a sight to behold .. and she also says their were genuine tears of joy from the orphanage "parents" at such a wonderful gift for the boys.
EDIT: I've added the video of when the boys saw the bike. They are that stunned at getting something so nice and new they are actually unsure about touching it. If you think you can hold your emotions in then keep watching and see how you manage when you see the orphanage mother shedding tears .. and how the oldest boy reacts when he sees this.

See the photo below .. I hope it does the event justice.

As you can see in the photo, Natalie also gifted the boys with some of the Hibs football tops that were taken out earlier this year. The kids love to get Hibs tops, but fortunately this was the last of the tops that were taken out earlier this year .. check out the "stickied" post above regarding Hibs tops, and please get in touch if you have any old or outgrown Hibs football tops you'd like to donate.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. :aok:
