A festive atmosphere lifted the mood of the children and the kids performed various dances. As usual, the Foundation brought children presents. Among these gifts were also souvenirs of the first European Games.
Young residents of the country supported the first European Games at the event. Kids took part in a short distance running competition. They also participated in various games and quizzes related to the first European Games. The winners were rewarded with gifts from the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.
Charity is one of the key priorities of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, as it has carried out charity campaigns aimed at integrating children deprived of parental and family care into society, and ensuring the effective organization of leisure activities.
As part of these campaigns, the Foundation provides a broad range of assistance and sends gifts to orphanages and boarding schools, while also organizing concerts and entertainment.
