After the explosions in the arms factory in Gerdec, entire area sustained heavy damages to both public and private property. One of the places was the kindergarten of Mucaj village. It wasn’t in good condition before the explosions for the educationally activity for young children.  From the first moments after this tragedy, the Church and Archbishop Anastasios were present and interested in helping with the reconstruction of the educational institutions of the area. 

A fund of around 40000 USD, given by His Beatitude, made possible the reconstruction of the kindergarten of Mucaj village. Everything had to be rebuild from the ground up since all that remained after the explosions were the walls. Reconstruction is complete.

The walls have been plastered inside rout, the isolation and the flooring, a new roof, new doors and windows, electric and lighting installations, the hydraulic and hydro sanitary installations and also they put a fence around the garden.
