This visit was a continuation of the republican charitable campaign "From the bottom of my heart". The guests visited the labor workshop, where the residents are engaged in arts and crafts, knitting, sewing, creating dolls with their own hands. They also visited the rooms, assessing the living conditions. Today the boarding school has become a second home for 64 elderly citizens, the average age of the residents is 82.
Natalya Kochanova, Chairperson of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus:
Older people have always been honored in Belarus, they made a huge contribution to the development of our country with their intelligence and labor. Their life can serve as an example for the youth. I asked them to meet more often with young people. These are wonderful people, from whom one can and should learn love and devotion to their country and people.
A festive concert was organized for the residents of the boarding home, before which the Speaker of the Council of the Republic presented the institution with a gift certificate and a set of sweets made in Belarus.
