10 July 2014: Visit to Burlin Boarding School

Today we rode our bikes to the Burlin village Boarding School, one of our charity beneficiary needing new, improved facilities.
Damiano Ratti KPO GD, Chris Circuit KPO GS Director together with other KPO colleagues joined the bikers visiting the school.
The Karachaganak Children Welfare Committee (KCWC) lead by Andrew Melville was at the school waiting for our arrival.
We received a warm a very touching welcome from the children that could not wait to "jump" on the bikes and try on our helmets, they smiling faces were the culmination of our "Ride for a smile" adventure.
The school director showed us the classrooms, canteen, kitchen and what it is immediately required to keep the facility going.
A very emotional moment was when we were introduced to four second world war veterans all living in the village, their names are: Victor Lantsev, Mikhail Shepel, Ivan Rublevski and Pavel Belyi



More of their lives stories you can find below on the a special dedicated post
