Press release 34/2020 of the district of Märkisch-Oderland
District Administrator Gernot Schmidt calls on all children to write letters to retirement homes.
District Administrator Gernot Schmidt is calling on all children, regardless of whether they are at home or in emergency care in a daycare centre, primary school or with a childminder, to write letters to senior citizens' facilities.
Unfortunately, residents in our care facilities are currently unable to receive visitors. In addition to the fear of the coronavirus, there is now also the fear of being alone.
District Administrator Gernot Schmidt says:
"Let's be there for each other and make each other happy even in these difficult times.
Dear daycare centre teachers, dear parents.
Write letters, let your children draw pictures and give joy to those who are currently without visitors. A kind word or a small work of art can go a long way."
You can then send the letters and pictures to one or more of the nearest facilities.
You can find the addresses of the facilities on the district's website at:
