Following the long-standing tradition of celebrating International Children's Day, on 31 May 2008, Volynskoe Congress Park hosted a charity dinner for 110 orphan children who arrived as delegates from Russia and other CIS countries. For the 31st year in a row, on 1 June, International Children's Day, the Russian Children's Fund brought 11,000 children together in Moscow from different corners of Russia and other countries.

They were welcomed with a vast cultural programme and a tour of the capital's historical and architectural landmarks.
