OSI - Novokuznetsk
Book and
Video Library
February, 2005
Novokuznetsk Children's Home #1 is a
very old building, recently converted from a schoolhouse into a children's
home. Besides being in poor repair, the home suffered from a lack of
common facilities for the kids to utilize and enjoy, the result of which
was that during the long winter months the kids were limited to their
dormitory sleeping-rooms for study and for entertaining themselves.
In addition to our Recreation/Computer
Room project, thanks to the generosity of donors we were able to remodel
another of the common rooms to
serve as library, -a place for the kids to study and place where they can
constructively utilize their free time. After reconstruction, the
library was furnished, a television and VCR were purchased, and most
importantly a substantial stock of brand new books and educational videos
was provided to serve the kids for many years to come.
Donor: Aimee Poche, with additional contributions by Edward DeSear and Denise Hove
Project Cost: US $3700
$320 - Room reconstruction
$725 - Educational video tapes
