Students’ Assistance for Years in Samara

12 January 2008

 (REGIONAL NEWS) On 12 January 2008, the members of the Samara MS Society (N.Kuznetsova, head of the social group, and A.Protasov, social unit chief) jointly with the staff of the Social Department at the Samara State University (L.Vandysheva) conducted a series of events. People with disabilities, who live alone, had received students’ assistance for years with regard to housecleaning, going shopping on their request and running on errands.

The students normally prepare fascinating performing arts presentations for the parties, thus, enlightening the atmosphere with their high spirits and creativity. This way of getting along has appealed a lot to members of the MS Society, and they really look forward to promoting the cooperation.

Members of the Society were invited to the University on 12 January, where they told the second-year students of the Social Department about the Society activities and the problems people with disabilities have, as well as they answered many a question of the students. This joint work has resulted in the development of a project and the signing of a contract with the Samara State University with reference to cooperation.
