The house is equipped with necessary furniture, household appliances, electric lighting fixtures, interior items, and household items, and is fully ready for occupancy. Approximately 785 thousand rubles from the republican and regional budgets were allocated for the construction and improvement of the facility, built within the framework of the region's investment program, as specified by the district executive committee.

Before becoming a foster mother, Elena Kolesnikova, a resident of Beshenkovichi District, worked for about 30 years as a chemistry and biology teacher and a social pedagogue at the Rzha Secondary School named after M. Gelovani and other educational institutions. In the family-type children's home, seven girls from Beshenkovichi District, who lost parental care for various reasons, will become the wards of the woman. The eldest, Anzhelika, is 15 years old, and the youngest, Margarita, is 5.
Elena Kolesnikova has her own adult daughter, Yanina, who is already raising three children of her own. Elena became a foster mother for the first time. Her wards, who found themselves in a difficult life situation, will gain a cozy new home, a warm family hearth, warmth, and care.
Ded Moroz and Snegurochka congratulated the children. The girls were presented with New Year's gifts and a festive table was arranged.
