Inspiration for good. Vitebsk region joined the republican campaign "Our Children"
"Our Children" is the main charitable event of the winter, the grand opening of which took place at the Vitebsk Concert Hall. This year, the large-scale New Year's campaign is held under the motto "Academy of Good Deeds".
The grand opening of the campaign was a bright interactive celebration. The regional leadership and children took part in the republican launch live in a teleconference format.
As noted by Dmitry Khoma, Head of the Main Department for Education of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, a large number of events are planned in each district of the region so that no child is left without attention. Thanks to the participation of adults, the campaign turns into a month of kindness.
Preparations for the opening were very serious and took a lot of time. Olesya Tishkevich, the mother of a vocalist, said that her daughter had been rehearsing her performance for 3 hours for the last ten days.
– For my daughter, this is not just a creative hobby. She prepared for this event with all responsibility, because we have a child with disabilities in our family, and we know how important such campaigns are, – noted Olesya Tishkevich.
At the grand opening of the campaign, Olga Lapochkina played the role of Winter. She prepared for it with special trepidation: the mother of many children knows firsthand how little ones believe in fairy tales and wait for this particular time of year because of the New Year's magic.
– I have had many roles in my practice, but the image of Winter is new for me. I wanted to make the costume more refined. So that I wouldn't look like a stern Snow Queen, I decided to add a long white braid, – shared Olga Lapochkina, an additional education teacher at the regional palace of children and youth.
The mother helped the young participant Maria Atrachimovich get ready for the event: from the very morning, they did her hair and makeup, and repeated her lines, because on this day the little one is debuting on a republican stage.
"Our Children" is not just a holiday with gifts and matinees, but also a profound social program. This year, all regions of the country are writing their volumes of the magical book "Academy of Good Deeds." On its pages, every child can leave their most cherished dreams and desires, which will certainly come true through the efforts of caring people, meaning the charity event turns into a real academy of kindness and mutual assistance. The book volume of the northern region bears the symbolic name "Vitebsk Guide to Inspiration."
The "Our Children" campaign will last until January 14, 2026. It will help unite the efforts of the state and caring citizens for the sake of the future generation.
