Following a number of discussions with the Gurtum Charity Foundation, we were impressed by their commitment to the local population and children, and by the projects they have carried out or are in the process of carrying out. It was while looking through the projects in progress and awaiting support that we decided to finance the completion of the construction of 2 children’s shelters. The aim is to make the shelters pleasant, beautiful and fairytale-like, using high-quality materials so that children associate the shelter less with danger, feel comfortable there and feel less stress when they have to go there after the alarms go off.
The first shelter, called “The Hobbit’s House”, is designed to accommodate around 170 children from an elementary school in Gostomel. The work to be carried out includes finishing the entrance, the interior (ceiling, paintwork, etc.) and the exterior, electrical work, purchasing furniture and equipment, fitting out the cinema room and installing the “zoo”.
The second shelter is located in Ozero Village and will accommodate 160 children. The decor will be based on a space theme. The work to be carried out includes the creation of a detailed design project with all the technical requirements for the decorations and installation of the UFO, the purchase of materials and decorative elements, the reinforcement of the ground, the purchase and placement of turf, the preparation of the foundations for the UFO structure and its construction, the landscaping of the surrounding area…
Nowadays, educational establishments are required by law to have a shelter. It is therefore essential to equip every school with shelters, so that children can return to school safely and face-to-face.
