On the 2nd of May Lithuanian Air Force Base and Royal Danish Air Force detachment troops that are leaving Šiauliai after the NATO Air policing mission shift have visited Šiauliai babies' orphanage.
Danish soldiers visited orphanage with the noble mission - they had brought from Denmark 7 Euro palettes diapers donated by Denmark based diaper manufacturing company. According to the children's home director Audronė Kardašienė - they will use those diapers for more than half of a year.
During the NATO air policing mission over the Baltic States Danish troops organized charity parties, in which raised funds for the children home. These funds were used to buy some stuff that orphanage can not afford - toy boxes, TV adapters, DVD player, household and hygiene measures. Danish detachment also donated their TV and a fridge.
