We have worked hard with the elderly people in Kurenets, Belarus in order to improve their living conditions and provide social interaction in their lives.

• Refurbishing and restoring decrepit bathrooms, refurbishing and decorating bedrooms and kitchen.
• Providing personal care for the female residents, hand massage, hairdressing etc.
• Entertaining the residents and throwing a party for them.
• Visitation to individual residents and with the help of interpreters, recording their life stories, reminiscences of the Hitler/Stalin eras etc. Above all just listening and being company.
• Providing a selection of small gifts at Christmas for each resident.
• Vital fund raising in Ireland to provide new bedding, mattresses etc.
