Boarding School Number 34 (Mentally Challenged Children)

 

	Boarding School number 34 consists of a number of buildings spread over two sites separated by a road. Many of the buildings are in an extremely run down condition.
	Just like many of the other institutions of Odessa , there is a constant shortage of basic cleaning materials such as soap, detergent and disinfectant. The budget is just not sufficient to pay for even these most basic of items. The staff have an almost impossible task keeping the building and the children clean. They do their best under the most difficult of circumstances.

Many of the children at Boarding School number 34 come from disadvantaged families and return home at weekends. Others are permanent residents. Fortunately the children have safe play areas outside which allow them fresh air and exercise.

Transport is a major problem for orphanage number 34 as life for the orphans could be much improved by visits to the beach in the summer months. This is one area where this charity may look to assist in the future.
