Volunteer center
One of the areas of our organization's activity is volunteering. Volunteers are people who are ready to sacrifice their own time, share their professionalism, knowledge, reputation and connections for the benefit of society, without material compensation for their work.
Almost every undertaking cannot be done without the help of volunteers – sincere, kind, proactive, responsive people. Volunteers of the “wise age” provide support to elderly people within the framework of the “Equal to equal” direction, give communication and valuable support, provide all possible assistance.
Volunteers of different ages participate in creative workshops, volunteer events, provide information by phone, help with the delivery of food packages and the organization of events/lectures.

👉На этой неделе прошло онлайн-мероприятие для всех участников проекта "Заботливая связь" в Приднестровье, посвящённое Хрустальной ночи. Для наших пожилых участников эта тема особенно близка — их семьи пережили Холокост, гетто, эвакуацию, потерю близких. Мы смотрели видеосюжеты, слушали воспоминания очевидцев и говорили о том, как важно помнить и не молчать. Пока живёт память — зло не сможет победить.

Last Sunday, a creative meeting of middle-aged community members took place in the family club "MISHPAHA". The session took place in a special atmosphere, because we have already entered the month of Elul - a time of self-knowledge, rethinking and preparation for the Days of Awe. The participants tried their hand at painting. Paints, canvases and a good mood helped everyone to reveal their inner world and share it with others. The master class was conducted by a representative of the Volunteer Center RVC, professional artist Tatyana. Painting became a symbolic way to look inside yourself: each work is not just a picture, but a reflection of personal feelings, hopes and intentions. Thus, the creative process was combined with the spiritual: through art, we learned to hear ourselves, open our hearts and prepare for the renewal that Elul brings with it. We believe that such meetings help not only to develop creatively, but also to feel more deeply the spiritual meaning of each Jewish holiday. https://vox.jct.md/vremya-razmishleniy-vremya-tvorchestva #RVC
