« We visit people in their homes, most of them do not have the opportunity to meet and even get out of their own home. Some are attached to bed, others are moving hard, so they can’t be part of the frequent community. Pandemia helped me to feel the closure price, Flowers, interesting plants and even vegetables, so the idea of ​​a celebration was born that could unite the people of Klaipėda visited by the staff of our center, ”said S. Burneikaitė.
