Annotation

This sculpture remembers the community nurses who cared for the sick and elderly and helped people who needed care. In their honor, and as a symbol of the willingness of all the volunteers who put all their efforts to the general public, this sculpture is dedicated. This sister is on her way to church on sunday. Her faithful dog will be waiting outside until the end of the service.
