The aim of the project was reached when it comes to the participation to make the people in the village to work together. Especially the Children’s Winter Olympics snow event was a success despite the bad weather.
The construction work began in December. The people of the village gathered to work every Sunday. |

Most of the constructions were planned for children to act as a playground, there was for example a snow castle. The playground was very popular because it was located in the centre of village, by the road.
The snow event took place on April 1st 2006 and it was organized in co-operation with the village society and the local sport club.
