Dear donors we would like to express our thanks for your contribution and for your care for the elderly.
Anneke Fijen a voluneer from The Netherlands has written a feedback on her volunteering time at Neoumanist:
“I think you are doing very good work and the elderly really appreciate the attention from volunteers. Everyone was very kind and I felt really welcome. The tasks were variable, what I liked. We were also given the opportunity to be involved in a lot of activities. The Castania holiday home was excellent. There was one thing I thought to be difficult, and that was the difference in language.I’m very positive about the project and wish you all the best for the future’’
The best appreciation for the projects is that one that comes from outside the project.
The activities of the center are based on local and international donors, that is way everything we are doing is thanks to the money people donate.
On first of October we celebrate International Elderly Day that aimed to remember how important are the seniors and to express our love for them.
In November we were touched by a story told by a beneficiary of the Day Care center Tamila, she told us how she heated her house during the winter time before she come to the center and receive our help: Before I received the help from the center I had had a very hard life. During summer time I gathered all the branches I found in the park, on the roads. I used to take a cart and to go off the city to collect dry branches, straws, sun flower steam.
In summer time I made a mix of dry garbage, dung, straws to heat with it the house. In winter when I heated the stove, it smoked all over the house, and the smell was far from France perfume.
It was a time that I prefer to forget. Now I am praying everyday for those who donated money to buy wood and coal in order to warm our houses during winters"
