North Stockton Rotary along with the Yelisivo Rotary Club, District 5010 (Russia) put together a Matching Grant for an underprivileged school for children ages 7- 14. The club provided furnishings, tools, equipment, books and toys for the Yelisivo Internat No. 1, a boarding school and orphanage located in downtown Yelisivo.

The intent of the project was to round out the activities and technical skills of the boys and girls who live there. Targeted goals included development of socially helpful habits, development of esthetically directed habits and creativity, and providing the residents with their first access to computers and contemporary audio visual equipment.

Through furnishing activity rooms the Internat provided work tables and chairs for the classrooms where students used to sit on the floor to learn to knit, sew, embroider etc. . . There was earlier 1 television set for over 200 children.

There were few toys and resources for the kids. Rotary provided them with Tables, Chairs, Mirrors, Cabinets, 3 TV's with VCR's, Wool yarn, Knitting Needles, Computer, printer, Books and Blackboards, Sports equipment, Toys for the children.

The Project total cost was $6600.00. A very worthwhile project.
