The gym of the school of Proteagailovca village, situated on the left bank of the Nistru River, is being refurbished for the first time in almost 60 years after it had opened its doors for the first time. The investments, in the amount of €134,000, were provided by the European Union in the framework of the “Support to Confidence Building Measures” Program, implemented by the UNDP.

According to a press release of UNDP, the equipment of Proteagailovca school was old, the roof was in disrepair and flowed, old windows needed to be replaced and the gym became impractical for sport lessons. The old windows have been already changed with new ones. The floor, plaster and all engineering networks are being changed. The locker room and sanitary facilities will also be repaired.

The gym is the only hall for sports activities in the village and the largest one compared to other nearby villages and even Bender city. Not only children practice sports here, but also adults, that’s why everyone waits for the reopening, in August this year. Basketball and tennis classes will take place, besides the already existing handball, football, table tennis and volleyball classes.

The hall will be used for organizing sports events with the participation of residents from neighboring villages.

This is one of over 70 infrastructure sites renovated through the European Union funded “Support to Confidence Building Measures” Program.
