Dear OrphanAct,

We are very glad that we had an opportunity to take part in this wonderful project that is directed to help the children from orphanages, we thank you for you give your time and efforts to this wonderful  work. It helps kids who don’t really have the warmth and attention from their parents, our government gives a lot to these children but still your projects let the other people to take part in the life of the kids, people who really had never been across the children, they do so many things, it is great that somewhere far away in Hawaii, there are people who care about Russian kids, and it unites us, it is a small world, and understanding of this fact makes the kids kinder. It is great that your project gives people from other countries to take part the kid’s life. These children are the future citizens of our country, and what we give them now will get back later, their view of life is changed by events like this one, it changes us and them. There are other people’s problems; we are all responsible for it, and what we give now, we’ll get back later.

Thank you for this projects came true, we appreciate the opportunity to participate in it a lot.

A member of the Avachinsky Club is a director of a business school called LINK.  This school has classes for computers, office equipment, and a teacher who is ready and happy to volunteer to teach the willing students at the orphanage.  Under his guidance, the students will be taught to produce booklets, calendars, posters and other printed material.

In a small way, a color printer will help bring the hope of spring back to the students during the long gray winters on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

The Orphanage was opened in1998, and is one of newest orphanages in Kamchatka.  The orphanage is a separate building that stands on its own. There are 32 children ages 7 - 18.
