Thank you for your support!
The donated money gave us the ability to purchase products and provide food.
The amount spent in September: LVL 280
We have prepared for winter: the basement shelves are full of jam jars, salted and pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, summer squash. We have harvested potatoes, beetroots, carrots, kohlrabi and beans. Hand-harvested apples have been put into boxes for winter. Like careful bees, we have gathered food for the entire winter, to keep our bellies full despite the crisis and the politicians, who are warning people that the worst is yet to come!
The young people have started this school year. One is studying in Bulduri, one in Kuldīga, two other in Tukums district and one in Liepāja district. Three of them are attending school, three began working jobs offered by the municipality, receiving LVL 100 grants. The rest of the centre residents perform everyday tasks, live with the family, visit cultural events, the sports hall and swimming pool. At the weekends we are all together again; we prepare take away meals for our students, self-cooked pies, bread, boiled eggs, cottage cheese, cream, potatoes, oil – our students take this all with them for the entire week, because they cook for themselves.
Taking care of themselves, preparing meals, maintaining a clean living space – all these skills are learned by young people at Žēlsirdības māja.
