"We are not standing still, we are pushing the boundaries. This time we have decided to master new professions together with pupils of Kvartal Louis. Now we have our own mobile catering point with equipment for candy floss, sweet corn, hot dogs and delicious ice cream! Imagine we can treat everyone with tasty food at the same time gaining the skills of professional work and dispelling another myth about people with disabilities. Other people with disabilities living in Penza will also have a chance to work as sellers," she wrote on her profile on VKontakte.

Maria Lvova-Belova also thanked LLC UBS Bank for financial support in the form of a grant.

"Soon the colleagues will give our students valuable knowledge in sales and personal effectiveness management. At the moment our pupils practise at the premises of the House of Veronika. The first clients are local residents and guests of the hostel. The craft is not as simple as it seems at first glance, so before going to squares and parks, taking part in mass events we should practise a lot, which we are doing. We have chosen a motto for our new undertaking: "Try life with us! Join us," the executive director of the autonomous non-profit organization Kvartal Louis said.
