[7] Cultural Festival

Oh my God! 
I totally forgot to tell it! :) 
Local AIESEC chapter organized the cultural festival with volunteers from different countries who came to Omsk to participate in social projects. And there was a crafts and food fair as well. 
Now I have to confess that I'm pretty good at baking muffins :D 

So I participated in the fair selling home-made muffins in order to collect money for the Gamechanging Indonesia campaign! And it worked out. I collected not a big sum of money but still something for unprivileged kids...

Here is the video-invitation to festival (in Russian)

[6] 2 days before Moscow

So the Gamechanging Indonesia campaign is coming to an end and we collect only half of the sum we planned. But it's okay! 
As we stated in the campaign - the main thing is to buy English textbooks. And we did it! We ordered the books! Unfortunately we had to cut the quantity because we didn't reach the goal. 
We have chosen the Longman Young Children's Picture Dictionary textbook for several reasons: firstly, there are illustrations there and it is easy to understand for kids. Secondly, there is a CD there to explain the right prononciation. Thirdly, Longman books are high quality. 
Here is a book:

And also we ordered the cultural souvenirs to present Russia and Russian culture to the children :)


We will take pictures of everything as soon as we get it and post it here for you to see :)

We still can buy more books for children if we get enougn money. The campaign ends in 60 hours (in the evening of 6th of September (Moscow time). So you have a chance to change the situation and contribute!
