Summer camps:
Every year since 1995 LSB organizes big summer camps for Samaritan youth from various LSB branches and for their foster-children, i.e. disabled children and children from asocial or socially supported families. Doctors, teachers and Samaritan volunteers that work at these camps try to root goodness and understanding to hearts of these children while integrating problematic children to the in-between of Samaritan youth.
Other activity:
Poverty reduction:
Samaritans implement the long-term Poverty reduction program in Lithuania. Our foreign partners contribute to this program by bringing to Lithuania second-hand clothes, footwear, technical appliances and etc. In Kaunas, Vilnius, Jurbarkas, Kelmė, Ukmergė and Šiauliai there are welfare aid centers for needy people. Samaritan volunteers collect and distribute second-hand clothes, footwear in Lithuania too. In different regions of Lithuania there are charity soup kitchens for needy adults and children from asocial or poor families. Samaritans usually bring food packages directly to old or disabled people’s home, others come to Samaritan charity stations and take food themselves. This support is carried out continuously for several years irrespective of state support.
First aid courses:
LSB branches have first aid training licenses and trainers with certificates. All people including those who are planning to get a driving license can contact the LSB branch in their or in the neighboring town and attend first aid courses. Samaritans also give fist aid lessons during children summer camps.
Nursing services:
In 1996 LSB working group prepared a training programme and methodology for social nurses. This programme after three-year trial period was approved by the Ministry of Education and science and the Ministry of Social protection and labor. Four colleges now prepare professional nurses according to that programme. LSB in order to guarantee working places for these people established public institutions that provide nursing services for people who are ill and stay at home. Samaritan volunteers who were trained basic nursing skills by LSB teachers work together with the employed professionals.
For two years already LSB in some branches has been teaching families to take care of their ill family member. This initiative based on projects received funding from several municipalities. It is major support for families which cannot afford nurses.
