Children ask Santa Claus to provide higher salaries to parents

In the period of the winter holidays, the Moldovan children have sent over 4,000 letters to Santa Claus. Besides computers, last-generation mobile phones and colored pencils, Santa Claus is asked to fulfill rather unusual wishes, Info-Prim Neo reports. “I want my parents to be successful in business. If you can, please bring my father home on my birthday,” wrote a child. “Please, help my father find a job and earn at least 1,500 lei. I don’t want my father to go again to Moscow to work. I want him to be home,” wrote another child. “Dear Santa Claus, I admit that I haven’t been very obedient this year. But if you decide to come by, please bring me a microscope for examining microbes or a telescope as I want to see the whole world. When do you intend to come to me? I want to convince myself that you exist,” wrote a 7-year-old girl. The president of Santa Claus Academy Veronica Solomitski said that every letter is analyzed separately and all those who sent letters will receive an answer. Children’s requests depend on the financial situation of their families. Some of the children asked for computers or last-generation mobile phones, while those from not so wealthy families want a pair of shoes or school supplies so as to be able to go to school. Some of them even wrote the address from where the presents can be bought. Unlike other years, Santa Claus received letters from parents working abroad too. There are letters sent even from Siberia and Kaliningrad. Santa Claus will be helped by the Government to fulfill children’s wishes stated in the letters. The Cabinet will examine 500 of the letters. Santa Claus Academy was founded in 2001.
