Wanderings Over the years, the Parikanniemi Foundation has organized dozens of trips, e.g. Lapland, Russian Karelia, Israel and the Greek island of Patmos. We have also made trips in collaboration with other organizations and various travel agencies. We will inform you about next year's trips in advance via the website.

Tasks The most important task in the spiritual work of the Parikanniemi Foundation is to tell the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Another important task is managing the friendships created by work. Church holidays, various occasions and social activities play a key role in the work. We are happy to participate in clubs in churches and homes and hold Bible teachings upon request. We are also open to new forms of sharing the gospel and working with different Christian communities.

Homegroups The orphanage is divided into three homegroups, Tuulentupa, Onnentupa and Koivula. The Koivula home group began operations in the 1970s. Tuulentupa and Onnentupa have also been operating for a long time, but have received new premises in 2005 and 2014. Each house has 6 children's rooms and 1 apartment for an independent young person. In homegroups, we strive for a home property where the child / young person participates in everyday activities. Together we do e.g. food, baking and celebrating the holidays together. Every “Parikanniemi resident” knows what it means to “candy rain, boot throwing and Midsummer swimming”. We want to provide a healthy growth environment for the child / young person in the peace of the countryside. The private courtyard provides a good setting for outdoor activities and play. The shore of Lake Saimaa allows fishing, swimming and moving around in nature. Onnentupa Demonstration Work priorities Staff © Parikanniemi Foundation 2020
