Employee of Mariupol Ilyich Iron & Steel Works Nikolay Gavriliuk:

- In June, I spent a holiday with my wife in the village Shirokino (health-center “Aleksandriya”). We visit this recreation camp every year. We like cozy rooms, shady alleys and, of course, clean and warm sea. And this year recreation camp “Aleksandriya” got even better – now there is new furniture and household appliances. In general, we enjoy staying here even more. Next summer, I will obligatory take the voucher for the vocation at the “Aleksandriya”. It is always very pleasant when the enterprise cares about health of the employees as our enterprise does. And now with renewed vigour I am ready to work.

Son of the employee of Azovstal Iron & Steel Works Denis Maltsev:

- I will never forget my holidays in health-center “Solnechnyi”. At the very beginning I didn’t want to go anywhere, I thought it would be boring. (it is prohibited to take computer with you). But in a few days I realized that I was wrong. It was really cool: every day our youth leaders made special contests for us, in a day we went to the sea shore and to the disco in the evening. I found a lot of friends. And also I liked entertaining and educational program "Day with Metinvest". Now I learned a lot of new and interesting things about profession of my father. It was very interesting!

Employee of Azovstal Iron & Steel Works Sergey Yurchenko:

- I was offered a voucher for recreation center “Volna”. I would like to say that what I saw just shift my expectations – friendly staff, cozy rooms and new furniture. A recreation center yard was covered with rose bushes. Indescribable beauty. And, of course, the sea for which I was waiting for the summer holidays. Here it is much cleaner. Everything was very well organized. I liked this vacation. Certainly, I will try to come here next year.
