Novopokrovka: how a woman leader found a source of strength for the whole community

About half a million pies, thousands of liters of borscht, hundreds of kilograms of jelly to support our defenders. And about the mental health of the whole community.
But everything is in order. ☝

Members of the NGO Women Plus, deputies of the regional council Liliia Hyrenko and Dina Miftahutdinova visited Oleksandropol, Novopokrovsk settlement council, Dnipro district.

✅First, we got acquainted with the new playground of sports simulators, which were installed in the park of Alexandropol with the funds of the deputy subvention from the regional budget.

✅Secondly, we got acquainted with the progress of the sports complex repair.

✅And, thirdly, we learned about the incredible work of the entire community aimed at helping the Armed Forces. Everyone – in the full sense of the word. A real volunteer corporation was born!

The head of the village council, Lyudmila Murkovich, told how from March 2022 to this day, people have rallied and are preparing food for the front at the bases of communal facilities and in their private homes. As for this, they arranged the supply of flour, meat, and dairy products from farms. How everyone in a group raises chickens and geese. And how responsibly the whole community collects funds for the purchase of technical equipment necessary for the military.😊

But about what she did not tell, we will say it ourselves: all this work was organized by a woman – a real leader. Thanks to Lyudmila Ivanovna and our respect.💐

You ask – what does mental health have to do with it?

To the point that playing sports contributes to the balance of the mental state.

And involvement in volunteering gives meaning to life and provides a sense of satisfaction and harmony. 🫶

In this case – to almost all residents of a large community.

This is their real #source_of_strength.
