Despite the rain, the agricultural fair near the Ice Palace of Sports in Minsk has been crowded since the morning. Residents of the Frunze district buy potatoes, apples, cabbage, honey, cranberries. And then they look at the mountain of packages: how do you carry it? To help those who overestimated their strength, BRSM volunteers are ready to come, who are easily recognized in the crowd by the red vests from the logo of the Good Heart movement, writes sb.by.
Today, on September 26, ten students of the Minsk State College of Technology and Design of Light Industry work at the fair. The guys help visitors - primarily pensioners, people with disabilities - to bring purchases to the bus stop, load bags of agricultural products in the trunk of the car, says Secretary of the primary organization BRSM Sergey Gritsuk:
- And the most difficult purchases can be left in the back of our truck. After lunch, we will take them to the addresses with delivery to the apartment. All of these, of course, are completely free.
- It seems that I was not going to buy a lot, but I did not notice how I collected three packages, the pensioner wonders. - The prices are so bad. For example, in a broccoli store from 10 rubles, and here from four. A kilogram of garlic is also three or four rubles cheaper. And everything is as beautiful, as fresh as the picture.
About the fact that you can ask for help from volunteers, Natalia Alexandrovna knew:
I saw a story about their work on TV and TikTok. Thank you for thinking about us, seniors!
- I love to help, Damir replies succinctly. - Plus, it's a good physical load. When you pick up a couple of sacks of potatoes to the fifth floor without an elevator, it feels like going into the hall.
- I often help my grandmother: I shop with her and work in the garden. I'm sad to think of retirees who don't have grandchildren willing to help. That's why I am here.
- Such work helps to establish a connection between generations, teaches kindness and instills the right values. Cabbage on the ruble, cranberries - 5 rubles per liter: we looked at what they sell at autumn fairs in Brest
