One of the activities our Institute organizes are regular monthly meetings
for convalescents with brain damage. Either they were caused by head
injuries or by stroke, the patients have to return to their environments
and are trying really hard to re-create old life stiles and adjust in
accordance with their abilities.
They are experiancing significant amount of demanding distressing situations.
Working in the groups offers a help in form of sharing the experiences,
advices, talking about the problems they share as well as discusing
distrust and forejudgements being applied on them.
We invited Benko Pulko to participate in two meetings. Her presence
was a motivation on it’s own. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She shared
her life philosophy, her stories full of courage and self respect, healthy
pride and beliefs that is always worth to endeavor on your own life
path, no matter how different and ponderous may be.
We thank her dearly for her involvement and look forward to see her
again.
