Built thanks to the support of the Foundation, these buildings represent an investment for the future placed at the service of education, perhaps the most beautiful gift made to the children and to the entire community of Spataru in the name of the military Stefan Gusa.
The children will therefore be able to benefit from bright and functional premises, provided with everything necessary for a civil and modern teaching.
