06.11.10 - Americans helped Idrica's boarding school to buy a washing machine In the USA, fundraiser for the Idrica's boarding school in Shushkovo village was organized on the website www.shushkovo.org. Beginning in January 2010, dozens of individuals and commercial and non-governmental organizations donated money to the foundation for the Pskov orphans. The main purpose of this action was to raise enough money to buy a commercial washing machine for the laundry room of the boarding school. Right now, all clothe, bed linen, bedspreads, and many other belongings of the 80 kids, are washed using two domestic machines that are physically unable to timely complete that much work. American donors raised $4300, but this turned out to not be enough. Because of this, a decision was made to combine the funds of American partners with the money collected by the Novgorod company "Crown" ("Korona") as a part of the project "Time of Good Deeds". In the near future, the donors will buy and deliver the appliances to the boarding school.
As a reminder, the initiator of the project was the producer of the products with trading brands "Gosudar" and "Lyuboni" - Novgorod company "Crown". During the months of April and May, from every kilogram of products with those brands sold in the stores of Pskov Region, 3 rubles were transferred to the special account of Idrica's boarding school. In the end, the organizers were able to raise 85 thousand rubles.
