The Island of Friends 2008

 

For the third year in sequence we are holding an event that brings our Great Fighters, their little siblings, parents and closest friends to the Island of Love, Friendship and Hope. This year The Island of Friends, held by the Fund Rugutė, started on the 24^th of August, a sunny, unforgettable and long-anticipated morning.
