President's gifts delivered to residents of Logishin House of Charity

Children are not the only ones who believe in miracles: old people do, too. A proof of that could be found today, December 24th, on the eve of the Catholic Christmas, in cosy rooms of the House of Charity in Logishin (Pinsk District, Brest Region). Brest Executive Committee Chairman Piotr Parkhomchik was there with an important mission: to deliver gifts from President Aleksandr Lukashenko to residents staying there.
The meeting between the head of Brest Region and much respected elderly people who have served Belarus all their lives and are now being taken care of on its account was warm and genuinely familial. Mr. Parkhomchik emphasised that it was really exciting for him to do as the President asked and deliver fruits from Aleksandr Lukashenko’s own garden to people who earned honours by devoting their lives to building the amazing society we now live in.

“There are 11 institutions like that in Brest Region, accommodating over 2,500 people in need of government support. The Logishin House of Charity is the only one that functions as a private-public partnership. It gets support from the Catholic Church and has every comfort residents might need. We are planning to open a few more healthcare centres for these groups of people, because we see they are very popular today. Many elderly people that are going through hardship need medical treatment and good care. The Logishin House of Charity offers all that to the highest standard,” he said.

Mr. Parkhomchik delivered sweet, juicy apples, potatoes, and other produce grown in the President’s garden and assumed everyone that institutions like that will keep being supported in the future. In his opinion, private businesses should involve themselves in that initiative in a proactive way.

“Respect is the best gift,” said Raisa Manyuk (80). “I have dedicated years of my life to the Army, and now I’m here. We have a strong leader in Belarus who cares about the people. We can feel that.”
