*Russia's first lady presents $19,000 donation to orphanage*


ST. PETERSBURG, November 3 (RIA Novosti) - *The Russian president's wife
Svetlana Medvedeva* visited an orphanage in St. Petersburg on Monday, and
handed over a donation of $19,000 raised at fundraising events.

The cash was raised through the City Partners St. Petersburg-Milan program
organized by the first lady.

"These funds were raised through an international project, and we decided to
give them to your home. I think you can suggest to your tutors what you
need," Medvedeva told the children, while presenting the check.

Medvedeva was given a tour of the dormitories, saw a lesson in progress, and
watched children taking part in handicraft activities.

She also donated a plasma television to the home for orphans and handicapped
children.
