Gvido Liepiņš, President of Jēkabpils Rotary Club, who was the head of Jēkabpils Hospital a few years ago, found out with his former colleagues the best way to please the doctors working in the three departments affected by Covid – three capsule coffee machines with a small “start” kit – 30 capsules of black coffee plus for 30 servings of cappuccino in each division, a total of 90 + 90. The Rotarians of Jēkabpils will add gingerbread, some sweets, maybe disposable coffee cups and something else.
