Curative education center

The Pskow Curative Education Center was completed in 1993 and is a school for around 50 severely and severely multiple handicapped children aged five to eighteen. Worn and built by the Protestant parish of Wassenberg , it was the first center of its kind for all of Russia, and is still doing pioneering work in Russian disabled work today.
