On 6 June 2014, people gathered in the court yard of the geriatric center to celebrate the ribbon cutting and opening of the new center.
Among the many speakers at the ribbon cutting ceremony was the president of the Holland organization which funded a large portion of the new geriatric center.
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova also spoke at the ribbon cutting ceremony in the village of Vasieni.
Two speakers after the Prime Minister on the agenda, was Elder Kneib. The church donated the water pump in the deep well and the water filter and treatment system to supply clean water to the entire 4-building campus of the geriatric center. My translator was Hripsime and she was awed by the presence of so many celebrities. My talk was five minutes long as I explained the humanitarian work of the church and where the money came from to allow us to donate to this project.
As you can see, all of the proceedings was covered by several TV stations and reporters.
