Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We live in one Russia from the poorest areas. Here there is no work, people here dies out.
Our Temple which was closed in 1928, and in a consequence is ruined, now returned to Church. And though our Temple stands in ruins, the prior and four monks have decided to rescue not stones, but souls. We have taken on education of 10 homeless children. Here it is a lot of problems: first of all there are no clothes, products, textbooks and medicines. Besides we constantly care of children's home for children with the limited opportunities (frustration of mentality, a delay in development, autism) which is located in 30 kilometers from our village and which contains 48 ill children.
Communists in our region is still very powerful and administration of area constantly counteracts distribution of orthodoxy and revival of Church, constantly interfering with our work. 
Our children are brought up in canons of orthodoxy: they work, where it as them on forces, well study, help on a facilities.
For continuation of our spiritual mission we need your help. Without it we simply shall be gone, and all our undertakings will go to ruin.
