Hi everyone,
Yesterday there was the Day of Open Doors (the library opening and a
concert) in the orphanage. There were guests invited - a former
principal of the orphanage, head of the region, deputy for Maslikhat,
representative of the military commissariat, head of the local
Sokolovka museum (an old man) and local TV. Everyone was really happy
for children. And children love their new books very much! I will
finish with the pictures of the library in 1-2 weeks. The pictures of
the library are attached.

This is WONDERFUL!!!!
I would also like to thank you all for making this possible. For those who don't know me, my name is Kristen Kolshorn. I am on the board of Antares. This project represent more than a library. It has given these kids some things that they have never had. One being a beautiful place in their orphanage. Secondly, it has shown them that they aren't the forgotten. That people care about them. They do not have the local sponsors that help them that the other regional orphanages have. They are showing pride in this library. For the first time ever seen in pictures, some of these kid have real smiles on their faces. You all put those smiles there. There isn't enough thanks that I can give you for that.
