Mrs. Vida Dolinšek is the oldest member of The Deafblind Association of Slovenia DLAN. She recently celebrated her 99th birthday – upright, lively, with a warm smile and a rich memory.
Everytime we visit her, we are amazed by the power of her words, her poems and incredible memory.
She recites the birthdates of her loved ones like poetry, while defying life with determination, humor, and strict order.
Once a dedicated teacher, today she remains a rolemodel with her uprightness, will and joy of the little things.
She can no longer write, so she dictates her stories, and we are happy to perserve them.
Mrs. Vida says: ”I focus only on positive things in life. That keeps me alive and healthy.”
We are happy that she is part of The Deafblind Association of Slovenia DLAN and that we can be part of her story.
