We can and should make heroes happy

The VNUK youth charitable foundation has existed for several years in Moscow. The activists of the project themselves decipher the abbreviation as "Veterans need care and company" - and are ready to give the remaining veterans, those who have no grandchildren, both. On the eve of May 9, their main task: to do a general cleaning in the apartments of those old people who themselves can no longer cope with washing windows or shaking out carpets. And along the way, of course, to talk - many veterans willingly share their memories of difficult times, and volunteers willingly listen to them. Most of the enthusiasts are very young: schoolchildren and students.

If you want something more pathetic than a simple wet cleaning, then you can take part in the patriotic action "Thank you for the Victory", which will take place on May 6-7. Within the framework of this project, the townspeople can write any personal warm words of gratitude to the veterans on postcards - and Moscow volunteers will certainly pass them on to the addressees. Special mailboxes will be installed in the largest parks in Moscow, and all collected postcards will be sent to the veterans' councils by May 9.

Besides, a great gift for a veteran will be a photo album - maybe already decorated with several cards of the war years - or something more practical. According to experienced volunteers, an LED lamp (a great way to save on electricity in the coming months), a blanket or a warm blanket, treats like chocolate and fruit, or just a basket of groceries can please old people - what seems boring and unromantic young people will be greeted with a bang old people.

Veterans with whom you are personally familiar can be invited to the movies - especially since it will cost nothing. More than 40 films dedicated to the Great Patriotic War can be seen at free charity film screenings from 6 to 9 May in cinemas and parks. They will show such famous films as "The Ballad of a Soldier", "The Fate of a Man", "Twenty Days Without War", "The Dawns Here Are Quiet ...", "Belorussky Station", "Soldiers", "Mashenka" and other films. However, if the trip to the cinema was not free, many Muscovites would gladly please the heroes. There is even no doubt about it.

The option is not worse - going to the theater or to a concert, especially since the day before important holiday several youth volunteer associations have scheduled performances dedicated to the war, also free of charge. For example, in the recreation center "Stimul" (Sibirskiy proezd, 2, bldg. 5) on May 4 at 20.00 there will be a concert of military songs "Let's bow to those great years", organized by an amateur vocal studio. And near the metro station "Volzhskaya" (st. Shkuleva, 15/18) on May 6 at 19.00 actors of the amateur theater "TeNer" invite everyone to a musical performance "The Dawns Here Are Quiet", in which old pre-war songs performed by young actors will be performed. - also free.
