The most heartwarming campaign – 'Our Children' – started today from the Vitebsk region

Самая душевная акция – «Наши дети» – сегодня стартовала с Витебской области
Over 200 children are participating in entertainment and contests today in the Vitebsk region. A teleconference connected all the venues organized in each region of the country. Children from all over Belarus watched the start and greeted the Vitebsk region.

The start of the long-awaited "Our Children" campaign was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus, Igor Petrishenko.

– This event, with its symbolic name, is aimed at supporting and developing children's talents, – said Igor Petrishenko. – The initiative was proposed by President Alexander Lukashenko almost 30 years ago and has since united the entire country in its efforts to create the best conditions for the upbringing and education of children. Our children are talented and kind, and the state is doing everything possible to ensure they can learn, develop, and realize their potential.

He emphasized the important role of parents and educators in children's lives, who invest their soul and heart in their upbringing.

– Your parents and teachers are the ones who inspire you to achieve and help you become better, – he added.

On this magical day, when fresh snow has adorned the Vitebsk land, Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) and Snegurochka (Snow Maiden) are ready to fulfill children's cherished wishes.

  

– Don't miss the opportunity to make your wishes, and may they come true on New Year's Eve, – wished the Deputy Prime Minister.

By the way, the charitable campaign will cover over a million children in total. The marathon of kindness will travel across the country until January 15. Not a single child will be left without attention and gifts.
