News from projects and regions
On December 15, Gazprom Transgaz Moscow took part in a charity cleanup event organized in support of the patients receiving care at the Butovo hospice of the Vera Hospice Charity Fund.
The company’s employees, including members of the Council of Young Scientists and Professionals, joined forces with the volunteers from the charity organization to tidy up the halls and corridors of in-patient facilities and to remove snow and fallen leaves from the adjacent areas and pathways. They also decorated some Christmas trees and dressed up the hallway with garlands, Christmas bulbs of many colors, and fluffy tinsel.
“New Year’s Eve is incredibly important to our patients. So it becomes even more important to make sure that every hospice patient fully enjoys the holiday spirit and its fairy-tale magic and feels right at home, being loved and cared for,” says Nadezhda Fetisova, Vera Charity Fund Aid Coordinator at the Butovo hospice.
