October 1st is also the day we celebrate the International Day of Older Persons.
On October 1st, we marked the International Day of Older Persons by once again visiting the Retirement Home in Ljubljana. This year, we decided to prepare a special event, as October 1st is also International Coffee Day. For the residents, we organized a demonstration of the traditional preparation of Turkish coffee in hot sand. Since there was great interest in the event, we visited two units of the Ljubljana Vič–Rudnik Retirement Home: Bokalce and Kolezija.
We had already visited the Bokalce unit in the past, so we were glad to once again collaborate with the Ljubljana Vič–Rudnik Retirement Home.
in which we prepared coffee in hot sand following the old Turkish tradition.
On October 1st, we visited the Kolezija unit, and on October 2nd, we stopped by the Bokalce unit. We prepared a presentation on coffee brewing and other interesting aspects of Turkish tradition. During the presentation, our volunteers were already making coffee in hot sand.
But we did not bring only sand and coffee with us – we also brought refreshments with our Turkish delicacies. The residents enjoyed them very much, which is always a pleasure to see. We would like to thank the Ljubljana Vič–Rudnik Retirement Home for the renewed collaboration and the warm welcome in both units.
