The Desire to Help Has been Growing
and Getting Stronger

The guys with the warm hearts have been working in our
northern and cold land. They have been actively participating in
the company volunteer projects.
Our first good deed was participation in a large-scale com-
munity cleaning day “CLEAN CITY BY KFC”. Having received the
company appeal about participating in the cleaning day all over
the country, we thought that our efforts would be mostly need-
ed and welcome in the Senior People’s Home. Soon we went to
the nearest residence. We cleaned the outdoor territory, helped
to tidy up the rooms, washed the windows that were no longer
transparent from the dust. Then we saw the smiles on the senior
people’s faces and they started peeping out with curiosity, look-
ing at the sky and admiring the beauty of the spring time. When
we were leaving, many of them we still looking at us through the
clean window glass.
After that, we visited these senior people a few more times
greeting them from the part of the KFC volunteer group and giv-
ing some presents form the restaurant staff – for the New Year,
Defender’s of the Motherland Day and International Women’s
Day. Every time we received a warm welcome and were getting
good-bye greetings with gratitude and best wishes.
The desire to help has been growing together with the num-
ber of our volunteers’ team members. And this has been inspir-
ing us to participate in some new projects: now we are getting
ready for organizing a fest and a masterclass for special kids for
the Mother’s Day!
