Food Bank drive, Nov 27th-28th

Last weekend of November, as is now a tradition, we participated in a nation-wide Food bank drive.

Thanks to our devoted volunteers & generous shop visitors we managed to collect a record amount of food, worth ca. 22.5 thousand Litas, approx. 6.5 thousand Euros!

The food will be distributed to visitors of our social club for poor elderly & homeless "Old friends' home".

There's something special about doing work which is essentially inspiring & witnessing goodness in other people!


Below are photos of our young & old volunteers inviting supermarket clients to buy & donate food & collecting the donated food

Senior's birthday party, Nov15th

We held a birthday party celebrating birthdays of those elderly who were born in November.
The oldest of them all was Mrs. Irena, who turned 90!
She is our long-time participant of the Old Friends' Home club & joined us 7 years ago.

Despite her old age & frail health she still enjoys & entertains others by playing her accordion. This time she read her own poem she had written about our Old Friends' Home.

Kids performance for the Elderly, Old Friends Home, May 17th

Volunteers' kids once again arranged (by themselves!) a concert & performed it for the elderly.
The good kids presented a wonderful show of songs & poems in Lithuanian, Russian & Italian!

They were so much inspired by the warm reception of the seniors that their concert was spontaneously expanded by some extra singing.
