The project has been carried out in cooperation with the Russian organization "For Healthy 21st Century Generation". 12 to 15 children will be able to live in the shelter's comfortable 3-bed rooms with a total area of 445 sq. m. Tatyana Metternich's next project will involve the realization of children's hepatitis C and tuberculosis vaccination program in St. Petersburg. Photo by A. Nikolayev, Interpress.
