HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Taraz 21.12.04

   "Live and don't leave time for sadness,
Take away moaning and anger form yourself,
But do appreciate joy like a light,
Even if it is small"

  Recently Anna Kovalskaya (Banker) - one of the old clients of Taraz Hesed celebrated her 80th birthday. Numerous congratulations from the side of neighbors, community members and city JCC representatives filled the house of Anna Yakovlevna with joy and love.

  It so happened that by her 80 years Anna appeared to be alone - without relatives and dear to her heart people. Her youth, shattered with war - she was 17 when the Great Patriotic War started; forced escape from the enveloped in flames Ukraine under the explosions; a loose of the dearest person - mother, brought much pain to that strong woman.

  So, as you can see Anna Banker had suffered a lot. There were hardships and joys in her life. A now, when she is alone, Anna doesn't consider herself a lonely person. She is always visited by her neighbors, Hesed workers - girls from "Home care" service, medical program workers, library volunteers, children from the community center. And everybody is surprised by Anna Banker's benevolence and desire to communicate.

  Good health to you, dear Anna Yakovlevna!
