She was not running for the parliament. It does not support any political force. Even in the "village head" does not go, although asked. To her, a small village near Kharkov, almost every day come to the journalists. Including correspondents of national channels. Why?

Actually, "Why?" - This is the first question I want to ask Anna Gerashchenko. More precisely, "Why?».

The village Ternovaya Chuguevsky district Anya's parents moved from Kharkov several years ago. Tired of the big city bustle, noise and smog. I wanted to clean air, starry sky, coniferous forest ... It is the "pine forest" and served as a complication of this amazing story. About how an ordinary woman (because of herself modest character) turned upside down a little, the individual village. While one.

Today, a forest on the edge of which stands the house Gerashchenko, well, not perfectly clean. A couple of years ago, he reminded the landfill.

"When we moved in, I was shocked one picture: the children laid out blankets for the picnic with sandwiches in the middle of a heap of debris. Fragments of some, leftovers, broken bottles. And amidst all this malyshnya play safely. It is an awesome sight. »

"A terrible sight" impressed Anna, mother of three children, so much that she immediately began to call friends: "Help, we've got garbage!".

- Polyethylene is? - I asked one enterprising man.

- Yes, - honestly woman.

She spent a businessman (a person engaged in vtorsyrёm) a fascinating tour of the coniferous forest. And for every "field" use the package received a hundred hryvnias. A good kind of earnings on which it would be possible and stop. However, in the village there was not a single playground. And again, "Help."

With the money Anna Gerashchenko agreed to treat the kids village at least one swing. But in order to establish the platform, you do not believe it, again - remove debris.
Brought together students and announced:
- Platforms like?
- Daaaaaaaaa!
- Will be. But! It is necessary to prepare a place for it.
So in the history of the village was a first Ternovaya Saturday.

I do not lie. Pad set. Sandpit, slide, swing. Moms and dads then another long look at urban women with suspicion.
& quot; «And what do you what? - People often ask. - And who benefits? ". You say. Your children. Do not understand. Look for a trick. And I think that if nothing to give, nothing, and will never be. & Quot;

What gets Anya? Kids, which is not derived from this house. His work of others. You can never count exactly how many visitors here, "complains" Anya's mother, who constantly offers a running malyshni "some water, gull, supika hot to."
