The contribution will go for the purchase of equipment and furniture. The three rooms initially were bare.

OTHER arrangements made for the children include reservation of a section of one rest room on the first floor for them.

At lunch, the mothers pull several tables together in the cafeteria for the children. There is no fee for the child care service because the mothers volunteer their time.

The purpose of the program is fivefold. Aims include helping the children become better acquainted with people in the neighborhood and better informed about services in the community; instill an awareness of modern transportation and communication systems; teach them duties of a citizen, and contribute to their language skills. Each child contributed a cardboard box.

Some were as small as a cheese carton and others as large as a metal reinforced refrigerator box.
