We could not visit our wards for a very long time at the Kimov boarding school in the Tula region due to quarantine and isolation. And finally, after a long break, we have delivered to the Institution the aid collected with the support of friends and partners of the Fund.
All that we collected and put together for more than six months, the Fund’s volunteers loaded the whole day into a Renault Sandero Stepway car, specially provided for the transportation of such important goods by our long-time partner Renault Russia.
As a result, we had a hard time packing everything that we were planning to send – toys, clothes, shoes, several packs of diapers for babies and other gifts, because there were really a lot of them. And such a roomy car like the Sandero Stepway barely closed. We sent gifts to Kimovsk from various private benefactors, and from a partner company, and a friendly fund. Children were happy to discover Lego sets from our donor Sarah. With great delight, boys and even girls got out in an instant of two boxes of toy cars from Renault Russia. Obviously, the boarding school will also use of laptop and photo wallpaper donated by the Fund’s friends for the Institution. Colleagues from Sozidanie Fund have delivered to our wards share of the aid from their regular partners – H&M; several boxes of sneakers and clothes (blouses, skirts, sweatshirts, jeans, etc.), as well as jewelry stands and a few of costume jewelry.
We have also happily sent to children gouache, drawing paper and colored paper, non-spills and other stationery purchased by the Civil Chamber of the Russian Federation for the Fund’s creative master class at the Good People festival.
So that the sunny day on October 12 turned out to be full of pleasant surprises for both primary schoolchildren and adolescents of the Kimov boarding school, where orphans and children left without parental care live.
Certainly, the children in this institution are provided with the main things – the attention and care of educators and teachers, cultural leisure and the opportunity to participate in sports and recreational activities, five meals a day, first aid, sleeping space and all the necessary sanitary and hygienic supplies, stationery and special educational materials … But every gift from outside – from people, funds, companies – always makes the children unusually happy as a sign of participation in their destiny. They understand that society treats lonely children and people who are in trouble or face difficulties in life with attention and indifference.
We would like to thank all our private and corporate donors and friends for their support of the children from the Kimovsk boarding school and the poor families of Kimovsk.
