They are our dear birthday celebrants, participants of the "Interaction" project, who have long crossed the milestone of 80 years. Every year, on their special day, volunteers knock on their doors, bringing not only gifts but also warmth, attention, and the reassuring feeling that they are not alone.

Each of us has memories of joyful birthdays, surrounded by family and friends, a festive atmosphere, warm words, and heartfelt hugs. Unfortunately, with age, many people find themselves alone, and in such moments, support and attention become priceless. That’s why volunteers strive to make this day truly special.

The centerpiece of the celebration is a sweet bouquet. But it’s more than just a collection of treats — it’s a symbol of care, joy, and a reminder that every year of life is a treasure and every birthday is a reason to celebrate. Volunteers visiting the celebrants understand that the most valuable gift is not the sweets or flowers but attention, genuine conversation, and the opportunity to share happiness.

Many recipients open their hearts, sharing memories, life stories, and wisdom from years past. These visits are filled with smiles, stories, and gratitude. For elderly people, they serve as a beautiful reminder that they are remembered, valued, and loved.

The "Interaction" initiative is more than just festive visits — it is part of a large-scale volunteer effort aimed at supporting the elderly. Volunteers don’t just help during celebrations; they also assist in everyday life by delivering groceries, offering companionship, and organizing events and training sessions. Projects like these create a sense of family for those who need it most.

The greatest reward for volunteers is the bright eyes and joyful smiles of those they support. Each of us can be part of this meaningful cause. By joining the volunteer community, you can give more than just gifts — you can share a piece of your warmth with those who truly need it because love and care have no age limits.
