HSE Organises Collection of Presents for Nursing Homes on Occasion of the Victory Day

The Victory Day, May 9, is approaching. It is an important day for many people, but for some seniors, whose childhood and youth passed in the war time, it’s even more important than their birthdays.

On the eve of the Victory Day volunteers of the Open Your Eyes student project will be organizing a visit to the nursing home in Klin. They will organize a concert and give small presents, balloons, flowers as well as care, sincere wishes and festive mood to the veterans.

There are 250 seniors in the nursing home, and so that everyone could receive a gift, all students and university staff members are invited to take part in the collection of presents.

For four days HSE volunteers will collect the following items:

• Sweets (sold by weight)
• Greenfield tea (25 bags)
• Diabetic sweets (soft sweets on xylitol or sorbitol).

In addition, there are things that will make seniors’ leisure more entertaining:

• Crossword puzzles
• Soap bubbles and balloons
• Checkers, chess, bingo, dominoes, playing cards, boarding games
• Craft kits: watercolor paper, colored paper, clay, yarn and knitting needles/crochet hooks, embroidery kits, engravings,  paint by numbers kits, etc.
• Scissors
