Russian citizens transferred almost 19.4 million rubles to the account of the Altai Regional Branch of the Russian Children's Foundation (RDF) to help flood victims, the head of the regional department of the charity organization Raisa Stepanova informed Itar-Tass reporter on Wednesday.  

      According to her, the funds received on RDF account will be allocated by a special commission. "I have an idea, to buy for children from flooded areas everything they need for school: uniforms, shoes, books," she said.

      As it was noted, in the near future they will negotiate with one of the largest retail chains on sending utensils for residents of flooded areas.
