Our Rotary friends from Alanya (Turkey) and Aalborg (Denmark) Rotary clubs came to Latvia to celebrate 30. anniversary of Riga Hansa Rotary club. Day before the celebration, on 16 May 2026 we brought our guests to Spāre mannor near Cēsis, a newest location of the society Cerību Spārni. The society is our long term partner. In February 2026 we finished a 68,000 EUR Rotary support project in another location of Cerību Spārni, Sigulda.
Chairwoman of Cerību Spārni Eva Viļķina told us about activities taking place and showed us around in Spāre mannor: group houses and day center with workshops and therapy premises for people with mental and physical disabilities, cafe/ restaurant which employs 4 inhabitants of group houses and offers lunch and dinner to every visitor of the mannor every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We saw also newly refurbished festive hall where different public events like concerts and other gatherings take place.
We are planning new Rotary support project to Spāre mannor which would allow Cerību Spārni to extend their services and support to handicaped people.
