Dear and well-known guests came today to the Medical Life and Social Rehabilitation Center "Way of Life". It was an annual visit of philanthropists from Uzhgorod’s sister city – Corvallis (Oregon, USA), which takes place under the TOUCH project. This project is a platform that brings together authors of social projects, volunteers and just active people.
The Americans were welcomed at the "Way of Life" as good friends, they are well known and loved.
The American guests visited the printing and souvenir shop, which opened recently at the Center. The volunteers saw the process of transfer printing, when full-color drawings are applied on regular shirts, and the guests enthusiastically tried to do it on their own.
The guests took a tour of the "Way to Life" Center and tested the elevator, which was installed thanks to their contribution.
They were accompanied by the children from the Center and 3rd year students of the Department of Sociology and Social Work of the Faculty of Social Sciences of UzhNU with associate professor of the department Zita Tartsya. Future social workers today had a glimpse of what they will be doing after graduating and what category of people they will be taking care of.
Alice Remston reported that they plan to visit the boarding school in Chaslivtsi, the youth farm in Pavlovo, the NGO "New Family", the Roma school in Uzhgorod, do shopping with children from socially disadvantaged families, and so on. There will be a meeting with the members of the Rotary Club "Uzhgorod-Skala", and also the guests plan to attend an organ concert in the Philharmonic.
According to Mrs. Alice, during the 17 years of the implementation of the TOUCH project in Transcarpathia, more than a million dollars has been spent on charity events.
