An unusual bench has appeared on the embankment of the Mukhavets River in Brest.

It is much larger than the standard benches located along the embankment. And it looks very unusual: the seat and the top bar of the back are wooden, the back itself is metal and is made in the form of the slogan of the organization – Pro100 pomogaem. And above there is a forged composition – a long-winged angel and weaving of herbs form a huge heart together.

To the right of the seat is another one – rounded and with handrails. It was created specifically for people with disabilities. The shape and handrails make it easy to transfer from a wheelchair.

A bench appeared thanks to volunteers. It was made by the famous blacksmith from Brest Alexander Chumakov. According to the author's idea, it embodies the image of all-consuming kindness, the people dubbed the composition the bench of mercy.

The new facility was erected in honor of the Belarusian Red Cross Society, which celebrated its 100th anniversary on 6 September.
