SAKI IS HEAVEN FOR THE DISABLED

This summer 14 disabled liberation soldiers, members of Vita NGO, got
a treatment in the resort town of Saki in Ukraine. We talked to Edward
Andrian, disabled liberation soldier, who has recently returned from
Saki. "I’m very satisfied with the trip. Though first we had problems
with renting apartments, we found comfortable rooms and stayed there
in groups," he said. This is Edward’s second treatment in Saki. About
6-7 people were in Saki for the first time.

"We who were there for the second time helped our friends who were
there for the first time to orient. In the beginning it was difficult
for them, but then they got used. The doctors were very careful and
attentive," said Edward. They stayed at the sanatorium until midday.

"Then we walked in the town, in groups or alone, shops, markets,
cafes … We were encouraged by the thought that Saki was built for
disabled people," said Edward. They also visited Sevastopol on July
31. The local Armenian community provided transport and organized a
party for them.
