Volunteers of the Party boarding house transformed the fence at the temple

In the village of Kaalamo, volunteers from the Party Boarding House, members of the inner team “Gem”, expanded the boundaries of inclusive volunteering, taking part in a noble cause.

With their own hands, volunteers helped to renew part of the fence around the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God. For one of the participants, Daria, it was a special moment: she was able to climb the bell tower and hear the bell ringing, calling to work and prayer. Then the whole friendly team got to work, and now the fence of the temple shines with fresh paint.

A warm welcome was provided by the temple assistants, treating volunteers with a homemade cake with tea. During the heartfelt conversation, it was not only about painting, but also about eternal values - soul, faith and future plans. The participants agreed to make such joint work meetings a good tradition.

“Anyone can say, ‘You know, just painted the fence.’” But for the participants of our volunteer group, these small cases make a colossal sense, the organizers of the action share. “When a person whose physical abilities are limited sees the tangible fruit of his labor, he feels needed. A small brush stroke becomes a big step towards independence and self-esteem.”.

Detachment "Gem" expresses sincere gratitude to the rector of St. Nicholas Church Father Andrew for the opportunity to contribute to useful work.
