Shushkovo

... And now for the problems. 1. There is a leak in the roof of a two story building that contains gym, workshops, and children's rooms. We have tried going to various charities with this problem, but it requires a lot of money and the result of the donations cannot be easily and quickly observed, like that of material donations of clothes and other items. Because of that, this project was rejected a few time
2. Windows in the kitchen and dining room need to be replaced
3. Doors in the group rooms (?) need to be replaced
4. Children need a playground.
That project has also been rejected once
These are the big problems. I cannot give you the financial requirements for these changes right away, but these are large sums of money.
And now about smaller things. At the end of each year we used to give awards to children with greatest achievements in studies and work, we used to buy them presents. Nowadays, we do not have money for that anymore. But we still want to do it. We really need sport equipment. Our children like to play soccer, tennis, and other games.
- 5 soccer balls - 1000 rubles each, 5000 rubles total (about $267)
- 20 tennis sets - 3000 rubles$ (~$100)
- 5 volleyball balls - 4500 rubles (~$150)
- 30 jumping ropes - 1000 rubles (~34)$
- 10 bicycles - 5000 rubles each, 50000 rubles total (~$2667) (We have 5 old bikes that were given to us by Norway donors. But they are for very little kids and they are already old. And a bike is a dream of many children!)
We are going to run out of clothe and shoes soon, so:
- Sneakers - 100 pairs, 1000 rubles each (~ $33 each, $3333 total). We could try to find cheaper ones, but we'd like to have some kind of quality.
- winter coats - 100 items, 2000 rubles each (~ $67 each, $6670 total).. Once again - could probably find cheaper ones.
- woolen socks - 100 pairs - 100 rubles each (~ $33 each, $333 total).
Our girls really like to do needlework, so we'd like to get them needlework kits - 50 kits, 1$ each - $50total glass beads kits - 100 kits, $1 each - $100
