WAYS TO MAKE DONATIONS FOR THE NEEDS OF ORPHANS, TEENAGERS, BOARDING SCHOOL GRADUATES
Now that the holiday of the last school bell in the boarding schools is over, a road to the adult life stretches before their senior grades’ recent students. It’s already the second month that recent students of boarding schools are proudly called students and get their scholarships. Young boys and girls who never before held cash in their hands, went shopping or prepared dinner now start making the first steps in their independent lives. The cultural-educational center “New Hope” opens its doors for these children each evening after they come back from the lessons in those professional and technical schools where they study. How to maintain the budget, what to cook in the hostel besides ready made fast food; how to use computers and the Internet? – Seven volunteers try to adapt orphans to the new conditions in their lives. They have organized lessons in housekeeping, computer literacy, applied interior design, English and even music for these children.
