OREANDA-NEWS. Within the project "City by Our Hands" sports hall in the kindergarten No. 110 "Svetlyachok" ("Firefly") was renovated at the expense of Metinvest and with support of the social union "Metinvest Green Centre".

A pitiful sight of the kindergarten sports hall was observed as early as last year: the slightest draft silted through the old window frames and rotten wood floors caved in under feet. In winter, the cold hindered children in attending the sports hall and conversely, in summer, it was hot and airless. Nowadays, the sport hall was changed beyond recognition - the builders made cement screed, daubed plaster and painted walls, replaced wiring and lighting fixtures, installed new windows and doors. And now little champions will gain health in the renovated and comfort hall. Here, there are new gym wall bars, soft modular equipment, as well as dry basins filled with plastic balls.

"It is great when kids are able to develop comprehensively, - noted Anna Gontareva, Head Mistress of the kindergarten No. 110. - Thanks to the social union "Metinvest Green Centre" that holds a perfect contest "City by Our Hands" our children will do sport in up-to-date, cheerful and warm sports hall. I have no words to express my gratitude for support of this very project. The new sports hall delights eyes of everybody - teachers, parents and, of course, kids".

As long as the renovation of the sports hall was in progress, the activists of "Green Center" got in order the kindergarten yard - cut down 29 damaged trees, mowed grass and collected garbage. In addition, they repaired hall, made floor cloth, as well as mounted and installed gym equipment.

Sergei Magera, coordinator of the social Union "Metinvest Green Centre" congratulated the kindergarten team with opening of the renovated sports hall. He wished success to teachers in education of the young generation of Mariupol citizens and promised to support their social initiatives in the future.

"This year, 14 social projects focused on the development of physical culture, sports and landscaping of Mariupol public areas became winners of the contest "The City by Our Hands". Metinvest Group allocated 700 thousand UAH for their implementation. The project on reconstruction of the sports hall in the kindergarten "Svetlyachok" ("Firefly") appeared thanks to the initiative of teachers and parents, who wanted to ensure comprehensive physical development of their kids, make them strong, hardy and cheerful. And we were happy to help them in this good work", emphasized Sergei Magera.

The staff of the kindergarten goes the extra mile and next year they are planning to participate again in the contest "City by Our Hands".
