Today, on July 7, 2017, the pre-school institution was inaugurated after it was renovated for funds allocated by the Romanian Government. It took place after 35 years, during which the kindergarten from Sadova village, Calarasi rayon, has not been repaired at all.
The President of Moldova, Igor Dodon, the Romanian Ambassador, Daniel Ioniţă, Deputy Director of the Moldova Social Investment Fund (MSIF), Liuba Cuzneţova, representatives of local authorities, kindergarten staff, parents and children have attended the ceremony.

Igor Dodon on behalf of the charitable foundation "With all heart" under the auspices of the First Lady, offered a playground to children from the kindergarten in Sadova.

I would like to thank the Romanian Government, our friends, for this very beautiful gesture, for this social project. I am firmly convinced that our bilateral relations will continue to be as fruitful as they have been so far."
The Ambassador of Romania, Daniel Ioniţă, said: "In recent years, Romania has allocated 26 million euros for the reconstruction of pre-school institutions in the Republic of Moldova. Our investments have gone in all rayons, because we believe that so we can help to educate and polish the most important resource of a country, people. By learning and educating themselves in a kindergarten brought to European standards, children will have a chance to grow up in a nice environment, will be able to become good people, and will be able to take care of the destiny of their country."
