This year’s natural disaster in the Tyumen Region is breaking records for water rise seven years ago. Volunteers have distributed more than 150 tons of sand into tens of thousands of bags in that time. Eleven men were engaged in packing the soil. Two girls had the task of cutting ropes and tightly tying polypropylene bags. That’s a task the customs officers have done side by side with other volunteers all these days

Leonid Saukov, the head of the Uporovsky district, and Yuri Plesovskikh, the head of the Territorial Administration, visited the site. The leaders thanked the children for their work and congratulated them on the upcoming May holidays, and activists of the Uporovsky primary branch of “Movement of the First” presented them with St. George ribbons

The combined efforts of volunteers who came to the district and local residents filled 138 thousand bags to strengthen the earth embankment in the village of Uporovo
