Repaired Food Supply in the Children's Camp of Buryatia District
In the heart of Buryatia, Russia, the "Gesar" children's camp has been a beacon of cultural education and tradition since 2019. Recently, the camp has undergone a significant expansion, thanks to the construction of new dormitories, enabling it to accommodate over 400 children this year.
The growth in the camp's capacity is evident in the increase in its number of attendees. Since 2023, the number of children at the camp has more than doubled, rising from 179 to 311 in the previous year.
This expansion was facilitated by Valentina Ivanovna Matviyenko, who played a crucial role in the construction of the two new dormitories. As a result, the camp was able to switch from two shifts to three, providing more opportunities for children to immerse themselves in the rich Buryat heritage.
Alexei Tsydenov, the head of Buryatia, recently visited the camp in the Baaruun-Oer area near Ulekchin and Mikhailovka. The visit, announced on his social media pages on July 29, was the first item on his schedule, underscoring the importance of the camp in the region.
However, the exact details of Tsydenov's visit are not provided in the article. What is clear, though, is that the camp's growth and expansion have been a source of pride for both the local community and the government.
The increase in children at the "Gesar" children's camp is attributed by Tsydenov to the construction of the two new dormitories. This expansion has not only allowed more children to participate but has also enabled the camp to diversify its educational and recreational programs, introducing new workshops, cultural events, and outdoor activities designed to deepen knowledge of Buryat customs, folklore, and language.
The growth of the camp has been supported by increased funding and support from local government and cultural organizations aimed at preserving and promoting indigenous cultures in the region. With its picturesque location and expanded facilities, the "Gesar" children's camp continues to be a vibrant centre for Buryatia’s youth, fostering a connection to their cultural heritage.
The new dormitories constructed at the "Gesar" children's camp have not only increased its capacity to accommodate over 400 children but have also facilitated an enhancement in its lifestyle, providing a home-and-garden setting for immersive cultural education and tradition. The expansion of the camp's facilities, in turn, has led to an array of diverse educational and recreational programs enriching the children's understanding of Buryat customs, folklore, and language.
