The schoolchildren responded with great desire to the request of the chairman of the non-profit organization “Disabled and Environment” and the head of the initiative, Ivan Shmyga, to help prepare the site for landscaping. The young volunteers also interested their comrades in their decision to spend the summer holidays usefully. “Armed” with shovels, rakes and stretchers, the teenagers began to work together to clear the yard of construction debris, level the soil for planting grass... The guys did not hide the fact that it was a great joy for them to take part in a good deed.
– I am for charity, I always respond if my help is needed! - said Vladimir Zhitnitsky, a student at secondary school No. 32 in Brest. - I love this place very much and have been training here on street exercise machines for almost a year. I like to lead an active lifestyle, participate in useful activities at the Inclusive Center, and help organize children's health exhibitions, not only in Brest, but also in other cities.
– Do you know why I’m here? - Timofey Yurchik, a student at the Brest Professional Lyceum of Builders, joined the conversation. - Labor is also physical activity! I am happy to help in arranging the territory of the Inclusive Center, because in the process of work you can pump up your muscles. I told all my friends about this site where you can get a good workout, and, importantly, for free. I would like all the work to be completed as soon as possible so that even more adults and children can study and relax here.
