Taras Alexander is a true hero of our time. His volunteer work in the city of Rybnitsa has been ongoing for more than 10 years. During this time, he has managed to help numerous people in need of support.

The primary focus of his work is assisting elderly individuals. Alexander regularly helps them with grocery shopping, especially those who cannot manage this task on their own. He delivers food packages to the addresses of less mobile Hesed clients, ensuring they have the necessary food supplies.

In addition, Alexander actively participates in the "From Generation to Generation" project, which aims to engage with elderly people. He calls them, inquires about their well-being, shares his news, and simply spends time in pleasant conversations. This is particularly important for the elderly, who often feel lonely and in need of attention.

However, Taras Alexander's assistance is not limited to elderly people alone. He also helps individuals understand gadgets, such as computers and smartphones. Many elderly people face difficulties in adapting to new technologies, and Alexander gladly shares his knowledge and experience, helping them become proficient with these devices.

For Alexander, volunteer work is not just a job; it is a way of life. He emphasizes that the most important thing for him is connecting with people, empathizing, and providing the necessary support. He strives to find an individual approach to each person to genuinely assist them.

People like Taras Alexander make a significant contribution to our society. Their kindness, empathy, and readiness to help set an example for all of us. Thanks to such volunteers, the world becomes a better and kinder place, and people receive the necessary support and care.

Hello, my name is Lilia Braga, and I am a volunteer with Hesed in Rybnitsa. My desire to help those in need and the realization that I can truly be useful to people led me to volunteering. Throughout my volunteer activities, I have participated in various volunteer initiatives and continue to lead an active volunteer life today.

I enjoy organizing Shabbat gatherings for our clients and assisting with the distribution of matzah and food packages. I have also been involved in projects such as "Visiting the Day Center" and "Peer to Peer." Currently, I have two clients whom I regularly call to check on their health, provide necessary assistance, and inform them about upcoming interesting events.

For me, volunteering is an opportunity to contribute to the betterment of our society. It brings new acquaintances and new knowledge, as well as a sea of positive emotions when you hear words of gratitude from your clients.
