Small innovations, happy children
Somehow it has become famous. Somehow I’m very proud of it, of the local project managers and of all who have contributed to make this happen. I have seen a lot of people leaving comments in the guest book since its inauguration in June 2016. Only 5 months ago. Even the regional head of all…
