Our Life | Наше життя 18 In an effort to bring cheer to elderly nursing home patients who are isolated from their families during the coronavirus pandemic, members of the New Jersey Regional Council created a region-wide project of hope. Members of all NJ branches were asked to have their children or grandchildren provide drawings of cheer that then would be included in a slideshow for viewing at various New Jersey nursing homes, as well as at St. Joseph’s assisted living facility in Sloatsburg NY, a residence for elderly Ukrainians. The response from our young children was excellent! We received numerous hand-drawn illustrations filled with messages of hope. Supplementing the children’s drawings were beautiful photos from nature, as well as sweet photos of pets and impressive photos of national landmarks. The entire slideshow was set to music by our Regional Council Social Welfare Chair. A note from the New Jersey Regional Council President defining the UNWLA and our mission was included in the slideshow. The slideshow, titled “A Bit of Sunshine,” was shown first to residents of St. Joseph’s, where the images had a positive impact on the many residents who, to this day, are only able to spend limited time with their families. The rainbows with messages of love and goodwill drawn by the children give residents hope that, indeed, there will be a rainbow after this storm. We will continue to offer this project to various nursing homes in NJ, expanding it with various seasonal themes. We hope that the “A Bit of Sunshine” slideshow brings a smile to, and lifts the spirit of, everyone who views it.
