“Charity organizations have few opportunities to acquire something on their own. We need funds all the time, and there is never enough. If we had bought the equipment, it would have taken the money away from our core activities. Therefore, when such a program appeared, we were very happy to participate in it,” the agency interlocutor said.

She noted that the fund volunteers started using the printer almost immediately.

“We regularly hold volunteer meetings and gatherings. Every time people need some handout information — plans, some tasks, memos, and so on. All this should be printed first. The same goes for reports, which are sent to the pension fund, social security and tax office. Moreover, there are many working papers, without which the fund simply cannot exist,” Inna Nazarova explained.

However, she also clarified that the representatives of the organization are not yet using the computer actively.

According to Nina Nazarova, the fund decided to set it up in the animal center, which is currently being equipped by the fund representatives.

“The center will house animals, and each of them will have to have an e-card. We will manage them online using Google Drive. Everyone will be able to see what's going on in the center, and the curator of the animal will monitor its condition through the service, find out what procedures, vaccinations or surgeries were made. Google Drive links will be posted to our communities in social networks, and after we compete the website, they will be available there too. And we plan to open online broadcasting. Set up Wi-Fi-cameras, with which anyone will be able to see the animals. This requires a good computer, and thanks to ‘Equipment for the Benefit,’ we now have one,” the head of fund “Helping hand for homeless animals” said.

Speaking about the importance of “Equipment for the Benefit” program, Nina Nazarova said it is fine support for those who are in need.

“For some people this equipment becomes obsolete, and others find it very handy. And they can do a kind deed. When there are such deeds, there are a lot of grateful people,” the agency interlocutor noted.

The charity program “Equipment for the Benefit” has been ongoing in the Penza region upon the initiative of news agency PenzaNews by the “Civil Union” fund since December 2009. It is aimed to help those who really need second-hand but working computer equipment.

Over the years of the program there were given around 200 items of equipment to more than 80 recipients, including families in difficult life situation, people with disabilities, low-income citizens and non-governmental organizations involved in the civil society development.

Within the framework of the project “Equipment for the Benefit” the old office equipment was handed over by news agency “PenzaNews,” the Penza branch of OJSC Rostelecom, the Penza branch of OJSC MegaFon, the entertainment portal “Menupnz.ru,” the businessman S.V. Bichinov, the shopping center “Elcom,” the Penza City Duma deputy Alexander Seinov, the Penza resident Anatoly Bodrov, youth social organization “The Union of Child Welfare,” CJSC Istok, the Internet service “Penza-Sport,” Penza companies LLC Bait, LLC ProSTO, CJSC Volgostalmontazh, ARN-Auditor, LLC SKB Amrita, NPF Krug, LLC NPF Kristall, LLC Distribution Center KODEKS-Penza, the Penza branch of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Rostechinventarizatsiya – Federal Technical Inventory Bureau, the firm Partner-Audit, LLC Svyatozar, LLC Penzagroproekt, CJSC Penznefteproduct and LLC Electromekhanika.
