Sometimes books are not enough to feel the breath of time, to learn the history of people who lived before us. It is possible to feel the presence of past generations, to understand their role in the formation of existence through monuments of material culture, and especially through the process of their preservation.
Today, the volunteer detachment of the Minsk Radio Engineering College joined the charity project “Name on Stone” for the improvement of the Military Cemetery of the city of Minsk.
The initiator of the event was the deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus Galina Nikolaevna Belyaeva.
The project is aimed at preserving historical memory and restoring abandoned graves of people significant in the history of the region.
The guys worked together to remove fallen leaves and clean the paths, returning the territory to a neat appearance. Volunteers also carefully washed the monuments from plaque and dust and tinted the memorials to renew elements that had worn away over time.
Participation in such events is not only a tribute to the past, but also an important lesson in morality and citizenship for the younger generation.
