Five years after the tragic events of Beslan in September 2004, Naked Heart has finally opened a play park in Beslan. This was a very moving and important day for the Naked Heart team. We visited the chidlren's graves and a monument marking those who were killed in this «City of Angels», as well as School No. 1, where the tragic incident occurred. The weather meant we were unable to spend much time in the play park itself, and so entertainment and festivities were moved to a nearby hall, where talented young local singers and dancers were joined by Natalia on stage. It was a day of both incredible sadness and incredible joy. We were left with the overriding sense that the Naked Heart play park will only strengthen the city's determination to help their children to live full and playful childhoods, despite the huge tragedy they have experienced.
