 Two girls Solly and Suzanna (on the photo) from Germany and their friend Regina from Russia spent these Saturday and Sunday in our city. Germans have been working as volunteers in Mahilou for several months. They take part in the activity of Mahilou nongovernmental organization the Charitable Child’s Art Foundation Blue Banks. This organization upholds disabled persons (creates new workstations, develops art skills of children, organizes work of special sections in different spheres of interests).
Solly, Suzanna and Regina saw the sights of Horki, got to know about a classic of the Belarusian literature Maksim Harecki who lived and worked in Horki in the beginning of the 20th century, and about contemporary life and culture of local citizens.
Moreover guests had several meetings with local leaders of NGOs which work with children, women and disabled persons. At all meetings girls told lots about volunteers’ movement in Germany and about an important role of NGOs in problems’ solution process in this country on the local and the national level.
