23. All Russia Rotary Children's Music Competition

The main project of the club is supporting young musicians and providing scholarships for those talented musicians from all over Russia in the age of 8 – 12 years. The finals take place in Moscow every year in December. The project is also supported by our Rotary partner Clubs from Remscheid / Germany and Ravenna / Italy. This project unites many Rotarian Clubs from Russia (last year 21) and herewith enables the pursuing of common values of fellowship and community services.  

Our club provided for the children hospital Dr. Ricardo Gutierrez in Buenos Aires medical equipment for the chirurgical department as for about $ 3.000,-- .

Our Argentine club member Sara Sanchez Arnau handed over the equipment, mainly three blood pressure devises and other needed items for the children hospital.

The Antioch church in Moscow is providing once a month a warm meal for poor and homeless people. Our Club is providing additionally each month about 50 care parcels for those people with main food products when they leave the church. The Club members are also involved in serving the lunch to those people in need in the premises of the Antioch church.

Gil Elkaim is a French polar explorer who is touring in a solitaire way along the north coast of Russia and the whole world with his huskies and sledge. His lead dog Puschok has fallen ill which could have effected the whole expedition. Our club granted him medical assistance by sending a team of eye surgery doctors from Moscow to Chukhodka at Far East, about ten hours to fly from Moscow away. The surgery intervention sawed the life of the dog and enabled Gil the continuation of his successful polar expedition.     

Once visited the orphanage “Our House” in Tomilino the members of our Club realized that the furniture is not the only thing needed there. A special Club’s project was established to provide the orphanage with other necessary things and equipment. A computer class has been already opened and donated from our Club. A substantial support for the project was donated by the concert pianist Lisa Leonskaya to our Club.

Equipment and instruments for the workshop will be also supplied to the orphanage.

We are providing free tickets for the kids for cultural events like concerts, circus and other performances. The project is meant as a long - termed main project of our Club.

 18. Our Home orphanage in Tomilino

 Our Club received a Matching Grant from Rotary Foundation to provide an orphanage in Tomilino (not far from Moscow) with furniture. The furniture is chosen and commanded already and after obtaining the tax exemption on the Grant the Club will officially deliver it to the orphanage.

The project is a joint project with the support of the Rotary Club in Moultrie and RC Thomasville both from the United States of America.
