Today, the entire country is celebrating a wonderful holiday – Defender of the Fatherland and Armed Forces Day of the Republic of Belarus.

This year, this February date is particularly solemn, as the holiday is celebrated on the eve of the main political event of the year – the unified voting day.

Today's Friday in Lepel is marked by a series of significant events – the district is hosting openings of social facilities after renovations, as well as rallies, wreath-laying ceremonies, and concerts in honour of true men.

The first location, where dozens of guests gathered,

was a family-type home on Chuykov Street. Today, a large, close-knit family, where Natalia Yemelyanova is the foster parent, is celebrating a long-awaited housewarming.

The woman has a kind heart and a great soul. Natalia Valentinovna has been working as a foster parent in the education department of the district executive committee for 18 years. During this time, she has raised 10 children. Now, she dedicates all her maternal love, attention, and care to 8 children who, for various reasons, have been left without the care of their biological parents.

The opening of the family-type home after major repairs is a long-awaited and socially significant event, which became possible thanks to the support of many caring individuals.

The housewarming in a large, beautiful home is a gift from both the district executive authorities and representatives of private business.

The management of the limited liability company "United Trading System-Sintez" provided approximately 70,000 Belarusian rubles in sponsorship to fellow countrymen. These funds were used for the renovation of internal premises, as well as the installation of windows and doors.

The district executive committee also allocated a substantial sum for the facility's renovation – about 30,000 rubles were directed towards the purchase of new furniture and equipment.

This project is an example of social partnership between business and local authorities. I am glad that our assistance makes our fellow countrymen happy," commented Alexey Volochnik, director of LLC "United Trading System-Sintez".
