ACASA, a network of organizations benefitting the elderly of Moldova, held a retreat for the elderly from different member centers around Moldova. Five beneficiaries from Neohumanist Association participated in the retreat, held at La Popas Retreat Center in Dubasari along the banks of the Dniester River. Overall 58 elderly beneficiaries attended the retreat, which focused on forming frienships, enjoying nature, relaxation, and improvinig health and spirit.
