How a Collective of Retirees from Kobrin Helps Raise Money for Sick Children

In Kobrin, a group of pensioners perform in sanatoriums to earn money for sick children. This was told on the air of the TV channel ONT, writes sb.by.

The team "Inspiration" is not just amateur activity of those who are a little over 60. Their story began almost a quarter of a century ago: meetings in the social center of Kobrin under the program of active longevity, there also performed for a small audience in halls without pathos and large-scale scenery. But with each passing year, creative appetites grew, as did the scenes.

“I remember what the numbers were two, three, five years ago. And now they are introducing something new. This laughter therapy is real, because people greet them with a stormy, warm applause, and at the end they see them off standing up. It is not easy for them to create everything on stage, but looking at them, they all flutter, fly, said Natalia Melnichuk, a member of the team.

They live by what they do and take care of each other. Fate decreed that at a respected age, most of them were left alone: the spouses were gone, children and grandchildren are far away. Creativity for them is a movement, a chance to show themselves and even find a new love.

By the way, men have a separate role in this team. And not everyone will agree. The dance of the little swans is only part of what tears up the halls. And recently, social media.

"Inspiration" is a unique, humorous people, and, most importantly, ready to help not only each other and not only in public - on stage. They help raise funds for children with a rare genetic disease. After helping one child, the team decided they had a light arm, so they decided to continue.

And this, perhaps, is happiness - to help those who are now especially needed, to give the kindness of the human heart, and in return to live a grateful audience and, of course, to hear applause. Each of the artists who allow them to laugh at themselves and enjoy their smiles, probably have their own stories. But another thing comes to the fore – what shines brighter than concert soffits, although it does not sound as loud as applause. -
