Family Manor for special needs Children - A Baikal-Eco  Rotary Club Project.   This  special  Family Manor Village was organized in 1995 by parents of special needs children.  The unique concept about this facility is that a group of parents organized to keep control of their special needs children instead of turning them over to the government, which is very unusual inRussia  .  U.S. Rotarians should be interested in supporting this group of parents and children.

The Family Manor has one facility in the country for older children and another small facility in Irkutsk for younger children. In 2003, a piece of land was donated in Ust-Baley, where the  village house  sits.  The house is home to 18  children.  The house in Irkutsk, founded in 1997, is  used as a school for 25 children. Our 43 children are kind and hard working.  Their  activities are diverse.  They study, work in the fields, spend their holidays hand-making souvenirs.  Some of the needs are fabric, thread, dye for making, and a table for them to work on.
