„For unto you is born this day In the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
Luke 2:11
I wish you that the message of His everlasting love will touch your heart in new and wonderful ways this Christmas and through all the days come.

In 16 and 17 November 2011, at the Youth Club "Shelter" II Diamond Table Tennis Tournament took place. 14 players have participated in the qualifying stage. The winners of the qualifying games fought for passage to the final stage. The four best players were fighting for Tournament trophies. Przemysław Grabowski won the golden statuette, silver - Mateusz Oświecińki, and brown - Mateusz Załuska. At the end of the Tournament a "small final" took place. The players who were eliminated in the qualifying games, decided to see who of them is the best. Winner of this test was Klaudia Leonowicz.
Many young people from the "Shelter" Club are passionate of football. They are not only fans, of course, primarily Białystok "Jagiellonia," but they actively play this sport, what is very important. They use every opportunity to play, whether on the football field housing estate, on the football field "Orlik" in the prima, or in the sports hall. Matches are played amongst themselves, sparring, as well as they participate in tournaments. Earlier we wrote about the successes in June 2011 in Supraśl during the Podlaskie Voivodeship Championships of the Childcare Centers.
Adventure of football in this summer did not end at this event. Throughout the summer young people benefited from the possibility of playing on the football field "Orlik", at Primary School No. 37, on Fridays and Saturdays.
The youth participation in very interesting football event - I Sixes Tournament, played in the ninth edition of Genticus Cup'11 - organized by the Sports and Recreation Society "Genticus" from 6 - 28 August 2011 in Bialystok, deserves special emphasis.
In the tournament, organized on the football field "Orlik" at Primary School No. 37, 24 teams took part. Representation of Youth Club "Shelter" has been very successful, in fact took 3rd place. At the same time it should be emphasized that our team in the final games drew the best team tournament, and only 1 goal gave way to the team that took second place. Of course, the boys from our team should be congratulated for finding itself among the winners, especially that this is their first participation in this football tournament. By the way we express our appreciation to the Society "Genticus" for organizing a very interesting and useful event.
Under this motto the summer camp was held, organized by the CEC "Diamond", on 17 - 23 July 2011 in Narewka. This password referred to the message that we had in our mind during preparation a summer holiday for children and teenagers. Our aim was that participants have spent a good time not only taking part in interesting activities and games, but also had the opportunity to reflect on the spiritual values that are important in human life. These values are treasures that enrich life of children, also mature women and men.
The camp was attended by 50 people. The children aged 6 to 18 came from the Orphanage in Supraśl, Club "Diamond" in Białystok and the Children's Club "Good News" in Białystok. Educators came from several cities of Poland: Białystok, Warsaw, Poznań, Chojnice, Oława and from Germany.
Despite of the rain this year summer we had wonderful weather and so much sun and only occasionally overcast allowing to break from the heat. Rain fell only at night or at down.
On 18th of June 2011 in Supraśl the 11th Football Championships of Orphanages in Podlaskie Region took place. It was great sport event. Among five teams there was also the representation of "Diamond" Center. The team consisted of boys from Youth Club "Shelter". Our team won all the matches and this way we won the first place in the Championships. It was first place for the fourth time!
