The first development and recreation center for children in Ceadir-Lunga town was opened by local Natalia Petis after she won a grant from the European Union through Support for Agricultural and Rural Development in ATU Gagauzia and Taraclia (SARD) Program, implemented by the UNDP, IPN reports, with reference to a press release.
Until two months ago, there was no indoor playground for children in Ceadir-Lunga. There was no place where children could spend their leisure time, especially during the cold period of the year. The center, with its modular labyrinth, a ball pit, fairy-tale houses and numerous educational toys, has already become so popular that it cannot house all the children of the town wishing to visit it. More and more often the center is demanded as an event venue to host children’s birthdays.
The center has three employees. Director Natalia Petis works from early hours trying to organize some development courses for early education of children, as well as English learning, plastic arts and decoration courses.
Natalia Petis is one of the 30 entrepreneurs from ATU Gagauzia and Taraclia district who were awarded with EU grants worth of up to 18,500 Euro each and benefited of consultancy services enabling them to set up or develop their businesses within SARD Program.
