It’s good that people from pre-trial detention center-2 came to help, as well as dog handlers from Elizar. And we made a special trip to Nekrasovka, which means we didn’t forget about the boarding school. Georgy Zhuravel is great for going with them himself.

It’s good that we stopped in Nekrasovka, at the boarding school. Georgy Zhuravel did well for going with gifts himself, and not just sending them. Last year we also collected backpacks for such guys, it’s nice to see that the action is alive.
