In January 2026, the 13th Winter Family Camp was held in Russia’s Ural region, bringing together 18 participants, including 7 children, from five Sai groups. Centered on the theme ‘Trust is the foundation of friendship’ and aligned with the year’s message, ‘God is Love,’ the camp gently conveyed the truth that one Atma dwells in all, and that true friendship reflects our relationship with the divine within. Through a creative and playful storyline, children explored the teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba in engaging ways, including learning Sanskrit mantras, practicing yoga, reflecting on the 10 principles of the SSSIO, and joyfully participating in a ‘Guess the Bhajan’ music session. 
A special ‘Best Friend’ service game encouraged participants to care for one another selflessly, placing others’ needs before their own. Creative workshops, inspiring performances, nature walks, bhajans, and a festive New Year celebration further strengthened unity and devotion. As the camp concluded, hearts were filled with gratitude, and the participants departed uplifted, with the awareness that love and service are the true foundations of spiritual growth.
