COMPREHENSIVE ACTION OF VOLUNTARY “SMILES FOR THE ELDERY” ORGANIZED BY ROTARY VARANA FOCSANI
The programme “VOLUNTEERS FOR THE FUTURE” went further. Its aims are to stimulate and boost volunteering, giving to the ones who want the chance to do useful things for society, being a call to humanity and good and worthy deeds.
That is why, in August of 2014, at the home for elderly “Another chance” from Marasesti, the project continued, ROTARY FOCSANI organized a voluntary action involving people who were included among the volunteers who will support all causes and initiatives promoted by the Rotary Focsani.
The elderly have benefited from the help of volunteers who have managed, in a few hours to clean the entire unit, to mow grass, to install the electronics offered as donation, to cook meal, to talk to the elderly and to lay the foundations of which will be in the future, their library.
The beneficiaries of this aid received from the Rotary a festive meal, where they watched a show, ate delicacies and where they find out what it means to have part of an afternoon with a smile for eternity. Also, Rotary volunteers have cleaned the entire body of the building where are the wards for invalid persons, and toilets and garden related.
“Our intention is to manage to convey to as many people of good will to do something. You don’t need much money, you have just to wake up somehow the feeling that through volunteering you can make many beautiful things.”, highlighted ELENA STOICA, president of the club, mandate 2014-2015.
At that time, ROTARY VARANA FOCSANI founded “THE CLUB OF HOPE“.
After the volunteers have done the cleaning to the elderly, arranged garden, prepared meal, they brought games, DVDs, books and plenty of other surprises, they have not rested and with the members of Rotary inaugurated “THE CLUB OF HOPE” for the 38 institutionalized elderly who live their life at the former hospital from Marasesti.
In this club that will be supported by ROTARY VARANA FOCSANI on long term, the elderly will have an LCD TV, refrigerators, dining room, microwave, DVD player, board games and chess, and a library equipped with more books.
