This Sunday, February 26, the first seminar of this year on the direction of assistance to the elderly was hosted under the umbrella of the “Origins of Mercy” project in Chisinau.
“Keep up with the times, develop and never rest on our laurels” – these are the thoughts with which we approach the organisation of work within the RVC.
The RVC team of Good Deeds Day Moldova Officials held a one-day educational and incentive workshop for 20 Good Deeds Day Moldova Coordinators from several active organizations in the country.
The RVC hosted an educational seminar for call center volunteers. During the seminar, at a session with the project psychologist L. Semina, the volunteers learned about the specifics of communication with the elderly.
On November 18, we were invited to Germany, Augsburg as lecturers at the Freiwilligen-Zentrum Augsburg conference “Volunteer Management in Crisis”, which was attended by representatives of NGOs.
Field meetings are an integral part of the Volunteer Center, they allow us to bring a new, bright color to our routine activities, such meetings give new acquaintances and impressions.
For RVC volunteers, an intensive seminar was held on the topic “Autumn Jewish Holidays”.
The Republican Volunteer Center hosted a teambuilding for volunteers in two areas: work with the elderly and work with children.
During the delicious and sweet week “Apple Week”, timed to coincide with the most important Jewish holiday – Rosh Hashanah, we held a large number of promotions.
For 10 months, project participants: volunteers, children and families met with Jewish educators, psychologists, studied the Jewish calendar, holidays and history in an interesting informal way in order to depict the knowledge gained through the eyes of children in the 5783 calendar.
The second Volunteer Community Festival for volunteers from 4 cities took place. The festival was attended by 100 volunteers from Chisinau, Balti, Rybnitsa, Tiraspol.
The severe consequences of hostilities in Ukraine have also affected our country. From the end of February, for several months, the work of the Jewish Community and our entire country changed dramatically and was directed to help refugees. We all rallied to provide support to people who are in trouble and came to Moldova, hoping to find temporary shelter here.
