At the Verkhne-Timerlekovskaya school, aid is being collected for participants of the SVO.

      At the Upper Timerlek School, assistance is being gathered for participants of the special military operation. The aid consists of large humanitarian supplies, the work of government structures, and thousands of caring individuals. Teachers, students, volunteers, entrepreneurs, and villagers are collecting humanitarian cargo, weaving camouflage nets, making trench candles, and maintaining contact with the fighters. In the Rybnaya Sloboda district, this work has united residents of different generations. One of its centers is the Upper Timerlek Secondary School, where teachers, parents, technical staff, and students participate in collecting aid. Here, they weave camouflage nets, make trench candles, gather packages for military personnel, prepare herbal teas, and keep in touch with graduates who are currently in the zone of the special military operation. In the school corridor, next to children's drawings and letters, there are photographs of graduates and natives of the village participating in the special military operation. For many residents of Upper Timerlek, assistance to the front is associated with specific people – relatives, neighbors, friends, and school graduates. "These sons of ours are our children, they are our graduates," says Guzeliya Zakirova, the deputy director for educational work. The work to support military personnel began almost in the first months of the special military operation and continues constantly. One of the most important areas remains the correspondence of students with fighters. Students write letters with words of support, tell about school life and their native village. Some of these letters receive responses – the fighters write that they read them with tears in their eyes and thank the children for their sincerity. "They write to us that they read our letters with tears in their eyes," says Guzeliya Zakirova. The assistance is organized by the entire school community. For humanitarian shipments, warm clothes, personal hygiene products, and essential items are collected. Camouflage nets are made by hand: students prepare fabric strips, which are then woven into the base of the net. Children of different ages participate in this work. A separate direction is related to the production of trench candles. Necessary materials are purchased for their production, and the assembly is done by teachers, school staff, and high school students. An active participant in this process is the teacher of OBZR, Munir Yamaliyev – he helps make candles and shares his experience with high school students. Over the past year, such candles have been repeatedly sent to military personnel along with humanitarian cargo. In the summer, the school begins harvesting herbal collections. Students learn about the timing of plant collection, discover their properties, and then, together with adults, gather oregano, mint, chamomile, rose hips, and other herbs growing in the vicinity of the village. After drying, they are packaged into small sets and sent along with the packages. The organization of the collection and preparation of tea is handled by the school's supply manager, Alsu Galimova, who, along with the girls from the senior classes, dries and packages herbal collections for the fighters. In addition, homemade noodles, dried fruits, and pastila are prepared for the fighters. Special care for the nutrition for the front has been taken on by the primary school teacher Ilhamia Safiullina and the organizing teacher, physical education teacher for primary classes, Rozaliya Gainullina – they make homemade noodles and other preparations that are sent along with humanitarian cargo. For the New Year and Defender of the Fatherland Day, sweets, tea, and souvenirs made by students of school clubs are added to the packages.

      "Next to me work my teachers, and beside them are our students. Different generations, yet we are doing the same thing. We love our Motherland and want to be useful to it," says Guzeliya Zakirova.
