RAIPON was approached for assistance by residents of the Omolon village of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug with a request to assist in solving the problem of the village school, which is on the verge of being closed down. The construction of a new school was suspended, as the construction company of Canada accomplishing construction went bankrupt and the old school building was in a dilapidated condition. It was promised that the construction of a new school will be accomplished in 2007, then in 2008 the latest promise was to commission the school by September 1, 2009.
