Motociclista brought food in a Psychoneurological boarding school №9 for three weeks quarantined in the coronavirus. Doctors, of course, could not personally reach out to girls, but thanked them for their support of the Windows of the hospital.
the citizens of St. Petersburg from motorcycle club “Night of the Valkyries” I assure you that will continue to help shape and deliver free food packages, assisting families with many children and elderly people who are forced to stay at home at the time of the spread of coronavirus infection.
This illustrates how different people gathered project #Myvote. For example, one of the most active volunteers of the Frunzenski district Nina Medvedeva – dancer and singer with economic education.
– I made a career as a financial economist, but quickly realized that it was not mine. Worked as a dancer, now an administrator in a small hotel and a student in the direction of “artist of musical theater,” says Nina. – To volunteering always attracted. So, on the island of Valaam we, the volunteers, were engaged in weeding, planting flowers, trimmed bushes, ennobled the territory of the monastery and hermitages. I also attended boarding schools for children with disabilities, abandoned by their parents.
But all previous experience was rather informative. And then another. I am very sorry that may not be useful in hospitals where there is a fierce struggle. So I decided to help pensioners who are in self-isolation.
the Only surprise I had was arriving in the project, pleasant volunteers was much more than I thought. And all active, willing to help, the orders fly like hotcakes.
mainly request standard: bread, milk, potatoes, tablets. But some are remembered. One day my grandmother asked me to find “salt stone”. She’ve never seen before, but we’ve prepared for such a task. Nothing else wanted, just salt a piece – say, nice not to sleep. Of course, I’m a salt is not found.
there was an old man 85 years old, almost blind, in the past a doctor. In the very first meeting he felt me professionally – pulse, thyroid – concluded that I’m alive, and asked out when the quarantine will end.
My regular applicant, two sisters, always planning my route through the district: I don’t just buy products in the store and first go to the shop near the house to pick up homemade jams from Suzanne in the farm shop, waiting for fresh chicken, then looking for fresh-baked cheesecakes and so on. By the way, grandmother is very intelligent, and for them the set of all these products, their way of life.
There is a perception that pensioners now live is bad, not enough money for anything. Some volunteers are faced with a very needy man��mi. And I have had some. But often in my practice retired quite firmly standing on their feet. They boldly spend money on trout, on the good meat in anything does not deny. I’m shocked, to be honest. But in a pleasant. We have much to learn from them. I would have to learn. They are wise. They know how to live.
Yes, it is difficult. Especially when we climb the stairs with heavy packages. At such moments, sometimes you want to cry, sometimes even curse the day when I decided to become part of the project. But happy moments much more: starting with the call of our dear applicants, ending with emotions that give us great grandparents. In spite of the instructions, which are not allowed to take anything from the elderly, frequent and chocolate bars, and pockets full of candy, I recently put a jar of pickles. To refuse it is not always possible. The older generation of people brought up: it is important for them to reward the person who did something for them.
I Admire people, which brings me to volunteering. I realize that we are all here, in this project, we decide along the way, some of his domestic issues. But what translates the energy at the same time put the joint efforts of volunteers of different ages and social backgrounds, is amazing!
My colleague Ivan is a father of three children. But he finds the time and desire to help the elderly to his old rattling the Quartet. He is very tall and very kind.
Mike, riding on a white car business class, with the knowledge and taste to talk about expensive whiskeys, enjoy the daily performs a great number of applications from pensioners. Simple products come to them on a luxury car.
Anna is a young woman with a fighting character. She has a small child and a mortgage. However, it is daily walk for a lot of applications, helping grandparents.
This is a portrait of just a few volunteers, which drives me daily our joint project. They are all amazing! We can not match them for some aspects of life, but the issue of helping others, we are all completely on the same wavelength. The biggest value for me in this project – people are so different and so similar at the same time.
My family is my mother. She never in such did not participate. In another time, perhaps, would say, “Why?”. But now, when she was in isolation, she realizes the importance of what I do, and I am glad that I feel useful.
All this, of course, will not pass for me completely. Perhaps, after quarantine I will continue my normal life: work, studies, Hobbies, but increasingly I am finding that I want to engage in social activities, work with the older generation. Oddly enough, but it is the old showUte me a vivid example of cheerfulness, and how many in them wisdom and clarity of mind!
When I hear the arguments on the subject of the unselfishness of volunteering, I have a disagreement: I feel I do much more than they give. The emotions that I feel, the energy I spend, – all this filled me twice, plus I have all the time in motion, and thus in form and in tone. Pros everywhere, anyway.
