style=\"color: #000000;\">of former homeless people. By living and working together companions learn to solve their problems and help other people in need. During 2019 there were 38 companions living in the Community. In Oselya, companions are provided with psychological support, they receive new professional and social skills, participate in cultural events and solidarity actions. Companions can be sent for medical treatment if needed, they receive pocket money and get help with renewing their documents. Newcomers have 3 months social training that include addiction therapy, personal development training and history of Emmaus movement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: #000000;\">In 2019, with the support of the Lviv City Council, we ran the project \u201cCreate your Oselya\u201d which aimed to help homeless people recover their lives through community living, occupational therapy, social training and psychological assistance. We conducted a series of training: a course on \u201cSober Lifestyle Skills\u201d, group psycho-corrective lessons, individual consultations with a psychologist, \u201cEmmaus Ideas: Life and Work in the Community\u201d course, \u201cPersonal Development\u201d training, \u201cSecond chance for old goods\u201d, \u201cProfessional orientation education\u201d and \u201cHow to run a household\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: #000000;\">In order to generate funds for everyday needs of the community and solidarity actions, Oselya runs social enterprise.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">The main activity of this enterprise is\u00a0collecting goods\u00a0which people no longer need, but that can still be used by others (furniture, clothing, household items, toys etc.).\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We pick up goods in the city with two trucks responding to the citizens\u2019 calls. We also collect goods from containers located near churches and OKKO gas stations.<\/span> In 2019 with the support of \u201cConcern Halnaftohaz\u201d (OKKO gas stations) we have installed additional 4 containers and by the end of the year we had 27 containers Lviv city. We still have a problem with people who steal and damage our containers. Through the network of containers, we have collected 900 tons of clothing. 131 tons collected are the goods that cannot be reused or recycled (broken toys, torn pursues, torn and dirty clothing, regular trash). That is a lot of trash that we people donate. Lviv city administration helps us to transport this trash to the dumpsters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The companions and volunteers sort and repair collected goods and sell them in the charity stores or distribute among poor and homeless people. In 2019 we provided 2 939 clothing give-outs to poor people in our charity store. Some were distributed to Lviv city night shelter for homeless people. 1587 persons who use service of Kofoed\u2019s social support center, received clothing during the year whenever they needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: #000000;\">We dispatch clothing that can\u2019t be reused for recycling. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/mbVM93G\/recycle-eng.png\" alt=\"recycle-eng\" width=\"652\" height=\"187\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><a style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\" href=\"http:\/\/emaus-oselya.org\/eng\/?page_id=74\">Charity shops<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">bring the main income to community and help us fund solidarity actions.
