The Residential School is a legal successor of Kazan College for Death-and-mute Children, founded in 1886 by Kazan merchant Pavlovsky and funded by his personal donations. It carries the name of the famous Russian teacher of hearing impaired and mute, Elizaveta Guryevna Lastochkina, who's experience working with deaf children amounts to 76 years. Since then, over 300 students got their education at this remarkable educational facility. At present moment the facility needs help and support currently provided by the Director of Resta, LLC (Russia), A.P. Nasybullina, who donates the supplies necessary for the educational process and never forgets the gifts for the seasonal holiday celebrations.
