On November 24, Ms. Fiona Gibb, British Ambassador to Belarus, and Mr. Ian Fox, Deputy Head of Mission,
visited the women’s rehabilitation center founded by St. Elisabeth Convent and located near the
village of Nialidavičy in the Minsk region.
Nun Varvara
(Atrasevitch), the head sister at the center, as well as the residents and the workers of the Convent, greeted the honored guests.
Social
rehabilitation is one of the directions of our Convent’s ministry. Ms. Fiona Gibb
was especially interested in the help we offer to women who find themselves in
difficult life situations. She also learned about the everyday life of
the residents.
During the excursion, the honored guests visited the workshops and the church in honor of St. Sergius
of Radonezh, which is being built on the territory of the rehabilitation center. Nun
Varvara told the guests about the idea of building a unique complex, which will
combine a rest home and a complex for orphaned children and mothers deprived of
parental rights. Nun Varvara hopes that, "The experience of communication
between three generations of people, the help of the specialists and, of
course, prayer will foster the reunification of families."
