The conference for Hesed directors finished its work on June
27, 2001. 10 Hesed directors from different regions of Kazakhstan participated
in it. They listened to the lectures on welfare programs, talked to all
directors of welfare programs and with Natalya Dorman the director of
Hesed in Almaty.
Special attention was given to the Food program and to Home
Care Program because these programs take care of elderly people. However,
the participants of the seminar were also interested in work of the other
programs.
For most of Heseds of Kazakhstan Mazel Tov Program, the most
perspective and necessary for the community renewal, can start working
literally tomorrow. The directors of regional Heseds got recommendations
in organizing work with their clients and staff. Now only 2 or 3 programs
work well but we hope in the nearest future the number of working programs
will increase.
During the closing meeting all participants shared their
impressions and said that it was necessary to have more conferences like
that.
For now all participants (leaders as they were called by Alexander Baron
and Max Weisel) went to their regions to practice their knowledge.
