Additional costs

Resources Unfortunately our resources are very limited due

the Russian government almost favors the drinking problem the country has because of the

large revenues they receive from the alcohol sales.

We will turn towards the local community, such as churches, for any additional resources as well as

support.

Education about the dangers of alcohol

Helping the children

Community involvement
