On June 30 and July 1, the rector of the church in the name of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity in the village of Lugovoe, Ulyanovsk, and the director of the Radius social rehabilitation center, Milena Krasnova, visited assisted living homes in the city of St. Petersburg and the village of Razdolie, Leningrad region.

The President of the St. Petersburg Association of Public Associations of Parents of Children with Disabilities “GAOORDI” Margarita Urmancheeva introduced Father Evgeniy and Milena Rafaelyevna to assisted living homes, where people with developmental disabilities who need daily assistance of various kinds live on a permanent basis. Eighteen people live in four of these houses. All feasible work activities are organized for them, there are special workshops, a sports room, and a swimming pool. Classes are also held in other centers, for example, at the Anton Is Near Foundation, and trips to the city center, visits to concerts and museums are also provided.

“I would especially like to note that the houses were built in large blocks of the city; accordingly, they are not cut off from the urban environment, but, on the contrary, are located around it,” noted Father Evgeniy. — Such projects are very important and should be implemented in all cities of the country. We hope…

Dobře, že ty domy stojí přímo v běžných čtvrtích a ne někde na samotě. To, co řekl otec Evgenij o integraci do města, má smysl. U nás by taky takové projekty pomohly, zatím to vypadá spíš na papíře.

Elena Dumitrescu

Da, integrarea în cartiere obișnuite face toată diferența. La noi în Chișinău încă se vorbește mult despre astfel de case, dar puține s-au realizat concret. Oare la „RADIUS” se gândesc să înceapă ceva similar?

Добре, що ці будинки стоять просто в звичайних кварталах, а не десь на відшибі. У нас в Ульяновську теж багато хто каже, що треба інтеграцію, а на ділі поки тільки розмови. Цікаво, чи планує «Радиус» щось подібне запустити в себе, як питає Олена.

Мария Козлова

У нас в Питере такие дома тоже стараются ставить в обычных кварталах, чтобы люди не выпадали из жизни. Хорошо, что отец Евгений это отметил — про бассейн, мастерские и выезды в центр. Интересно, а «Радиус» уже думает что-то подобное у себя в Ульяновске начинать?

Καλά που τα σπίτια είναι μέσα στις συνηθισμένες γειτονιές και όχι κάπου μακριά. Ο πατέρας Ευγένιος το είπε σωστά για την ενσωμάτωση. Αναρωτιέμαι κι εγώ αν ο «Ράδιος» σκέφτεται να ξεκινήσει κάτι ανάλογο στον Βόλγα.

Yes, integrating the homes right into regular neighborhoods like Father Evgeny described makes such a big difference instead of isolating people. Our youth group at church has talked about visiting similar places here in Chicago to help with activities. I wonder if Radius is planning to start even one house like that in Ulyanovsk soon.

Veronika Dvořáková

Souhlasím, integrace do běžných čtvrtí je klíčová, aby ti lidé nebyli odříznutí. U nás v Olomouci by to taky pomohlo, znám pár rodin, co by uvítaly podobné bydlení místo ústavů. Myslíš, že by se u nás našly peníze na takové domy, nebo to zůstane jen na těch papírech?

Стоян Колев

Добре, че домовете са точно в обикновените квартали, както каза отец Евгений – не отрязани, а в средата на живота. У нас в Търново още няма такова нещо, само приказки. Интересно дали „Радиус“ ще успее да направи поне един такъв дом в Уляновск.

Sofija Ristić

Добро што су куће у обичним кварталовима, а не негде на крају града, као што је отац Јевгениј рекао. Код нас у Бањој Луци још увијек све остаје на причању, а овакви пројекти би стварно помогли људима. Интересно, хоће ли „Радиус“ бар један такав дом покренути у Уљановску?

Αντώνης Αντωνίου

Ναι, συμφωνώ μαζί σου, η ενσωμάτωση στις γειτονιές κάνει μεγάλη διαφορά, δεν είναι σαν να τους κρύβουν κάπου μακριά. Ο πατέρας Ευγένιος το τόνισε σωστά. Ο «Ράδιος» μας εδώ στον Βόλγα ακόμα δεν έχει τέτοιο σχέδιο, αλλά μετά την επίσκεψη αυτή ίσως το συζητήσουν. Εσύ τι λες, θα βοηθούσε και στη δική μας περιοχή;
