Budget • Initial costs • Additional costs
Resources • Unfortunately our resources are very limited due the Russian government almost favors the drinking problem the country has because of the large revenues they receive from the alcohol sales. • We will turn towards the local community, such as churches, for any additional resources as well as support.
Goodwill • Education aboutthe dangers of alcohol • Helping the children • Community involvement
Closing Review • Alcohol is a HUGE problem • Solving the problem before it starts!
