Historically, Dobrodina is a continuation of the Rodina fellowship, which established an orphanage in this community in the 1920s, and later added services for senior citizens. After World War II, however, the orphanage was nationalized and the property confiscated. It was not until 1991 that it was returned to the ownership of the Baptist Union of Slovakia, and only recently have we found a suitable use for the vacant land from this inheritance. We rely on God’s help and the help of many benefactors who have chosen to support this project. We believe that as Christians, we are called to show mercy for our neighbors – especially for those who are sick and lonely, and bring goodwill and compassion regardless of the times, which is why we are embarking on this daunting project.
