On August 23, 2019, our family took part in the celebration of the day of the village of Sorokovschina, Uzdensky district, Minsk region, Republic of Belarus.
Most residents of the village, which now has more than 100 houses, came to this holiday. Our village turned 98 years old.
Almost no one knew that it was laid in 1921, and then there was only 1 house in it, in which one family of 5 lived. For almost 100 years of its existence, the village grew, then declined and almost disappeared. But since the 2000s, the village of Sorokovschina received a second wind. People began to return to it again, families again began to build houses, cultivate the land. Now we have gas heating, electricity, a good road, landline telephone, optical Internet and television. It remains to hold a central water supply.
In Belarus, the years 2018-2020 have been declared the years of the Little Homeland, which means that local governments are trying to do even more for the development of villages so that they live comfortably, just like in a city.
Fine artists, musicians and the Ozeryanochka choir performed at a small celebration. The head of the district congratulated the oldest villagers and handed them gifts. Grandmother Anya lives in the village for the longest time — 63 years.
Children had fun on an inflatable trampoline and ate popcorn. Adults danced, sang songs, participated in competitions.
The celebration ended with a firework. All participants were charged with positive emotions.
