The house is the dearest and the warmest place in the world . The same  it is for a hundred kids, who grow up   in the Fergana regional Orphan’s House. These kiddies according to circumstances appeared deprived cares of mums and daddies. And here they have found much, that is necessary for the child’s life and education.
      But every June  for ten years comes  the time of parting of grown kids with the House , which became their home. And recently the staff has seen off thirteen children who became seven years old. On this day a graduating morning performance took place here, where the main characters were the future first-graders
      Director of the House Rano  Mukhamedjanovna Davidbayeva knows all about each of them. In fact many have got here being still tiny babies. As, for example, a fifteen-day  baby  has  come recently from a maternity hospital.
Umid was  brought here when he was a baby His mother was seriously ill and could not take care of the kid. Zilola is only nine months in the House. With the efforts of the nurses she has turned from the reticent girl to the child telling verses. Dima is the most advanced from seven-year-oldies. But first time it was necessary to teach him   elementary things and to explain the most simple concepts. Now Dima talks briskly in two languages - Uzbek and Russian. Islom’s  mum is in hospital. And the boy is unhealthy. Navruza’s mother has given her birth when she was seventeen. The daddy sometimes comes to see the child who grows smart, and Navruz does not recollect mother. Milan’s mother is an invalid of the 2-nd group. The boy has a very difficult character,  he is nervous.
Almost all children who come to us, - says  Rano  Mukhamedjanovna ,- are not healthy. Many of them have anemia, infringements of the basic impellent system, various illnesses. They are neglected not only physically, they are behind in mental development. In a word, each child is a result of mistakes of adults, heavy vital situations.
           Being in caring hands of the staff, kids are under indefatigable attention of nurses, physicians. They receive an appropriate care, meal, are well dressed. They have a lot of toys,  different developing games are at their disposal. Twice a year the children are examined by fourteen doctors of regional children's hospital and get treatment.
      They pass all procedures in a physioclass   where there is  necessary equipment. Four logopedists, as much as masseurs are busy with children  regularly. Nurses impart them skills of independence, train under the special program.
      Efforts of the staff do not pass for nothing. Graduates  presented a show « Factory of stars ». They sang, danced, told verses, showed plays, competed, played, counted.
      The main thing that you feel, getting in the House, is the atmosphere of love for children. In fact only  loving adults’ children are clever, talented, happy and cheerful. Such as the well-dressed and  beautiful "graduates" who have proved, that the staff creates a miracle. The soul, heart and love are put in kids by all members of the big, amicable staff. They could not constrain  tears, looking at the  performance of their wards - in fact parting is not far.

      The "Graduate" group has always been under vigilant attention of nurses. Among them are Sanobar Sulieva, Saodat Juraeva, Umida Hamidova, Muhabbat Umidjanova, Alfia Amanova. The nurses Mukarram Karimova, Shukurhon Numonova took care of the children. Logopedist Gulbahor Tadzhibaeva  had classes with them, doctor Muborak Zakirova followed children’s health. Skilled instructor Zoja Abdurahmanovna Zijadinova and senior methodologist Kumush Murotova helped young nurses with their work.
      Especially it would be desirable to tell about musician Marina Kushnir. The talented person, she  managed to light a spark of talent in children. Almost all of them dance and sing perfectly . Everybody was much touched with a song and a musical composition about mum, which children  performed especially pathetically.
      The high assessment of works of the staff  was given by chairmen of regional and Fergana city committees of women Mavlyudahon Hodjaeva and Rano Boykuzieva. They  presented every  future first-grader with sets for school, and the House  presented backpacks  and schoolbags.
The today's holiday would not be such beautiful,  noted Rano  Mukhamedjanovna , if it were not not the participation and the help of sponsors - the organizations, businessmen, inhabitants of Fergana.  Graduates’ beautiful, solemn hairdresses were made by young hairdressers from "Cheburashka", private firm "Cubo"  helped with the decoration of the hall. Constant chiefs are the firms " Valley ", "Classic", the Society of the Red Cross.  The ball  dresses for girls, strict suits for boys were made by themselves.
    The soul of the child is understood iIn the House as nowhere. And even flowers in the flowerbeds  were planted with sense. According to the words of director, yellow is parting of kids with mums, red is their tears, white camomiles  is the light, solar future of children. The court yard is very green and well-cared.  And here there are a lot of camomiles.
