The initiative originated from a spontaneous action at the beginning of the 1990s. In the former Soviet republics, entire districts were built for the returning soldiers of the Red Army. In 1994, the first aid transport took place, which was actually intended for a children’s home outside the city of Lida. However, as the delivery of the relief supplies was problematic, the items were handed over to the social welfare office of the city of Lida. This contact has been maintained to this day. Medications, bandages, wheelchairs and other medical equipment are delivered directly to the hospital of the city of Lida, which is responsible for the entire district (about 150,000 inhabitants). In the meantime there is a cooperation with psychiatry, where beds and medical equipment are needed. We bring children’s things, toys and hygiene articles to the children’s home and the children’s asylum. The local schools have already received new tables, benches and chairs. The rest of the cargo, especially the textiles, goes to the social welfare office of the city administration, where they are forwarded to needy families. In autumn, the association for the disabled receives clothing as well as wheelchairs and walkers. Many local companies support this relief campaign.
