What a great effort and accomplishment. It is not about the quality or the quantity, the idea it self is a blessing. Let god bless all your work and those whom you trying to help. No matter where you live, in any corner of this earth there is some one less fortunate than other ,and god sends people like you to do his work. If you need any help you can count on me. Peace .

It is so astonishing and special behavioural endowment in devoting yourself helping the most disadvantaged section of a community. I have to be honest to you in expressing my feeling and forwarding my own personal evaluation on your relentless effort in the process of organizing and assisting immigrants in Moscow in particular and in the Russian Federation in general. Further, I can say only one, Dr Gezahegn, you are a unique persoon with a unique heart to any person. God bless you and your beloved family. We will be always with you in supporting spiritually and materially in all your efforts.

I am continually impressed and inspired by the work Dr. Wordofa does with Opora, servicing the refugees of Moscow. He is a truly remarkable individual with enough drive and stamina to effect great and lasting change in the lives of the less fortunate. He simply needs our support in his endeavors and there's virtually no saying what this man could do to serve humanity. Thank you Russia Today for publishing this inspirational story. I look forward to reading many more of a similar vein. Great work Geza, thank you for all you do.

Thank you Russia Today for introducing the marvellous charitable activities of Dr. Giza. Helping the marginalized sections of humanity is a noble thing to do. More so when we give a lending hand to refugees who do not have anywhere to go and lead their lives in a continous state of worry and hopelessness. Keep up the good work in Moscow my friend. May God be with you in whatever you are doing to support the marginalized in that country! Admasu

This is a nice touching story about efforts to make a change and difference. The continued excellent work of Dr. Wordofa and Opora should be lauded and supported as there is a demonstrated need for this kind of work and assistance for marginalised and vulnerable groups coming to Russia either as a final destination or in transition.

An important story showing the excellent work and big hearts of all the organizers and volunteers and the wonderful interaction and social event for the community. May OPORA continue to be a shining example of energy needed and the courage to act in overcoming the problems vulnerable groups face in Russia. May this article serve as inspiration for more future stories like this.
