The
citywide action on September 10 was the final chord of the autumn “Good Week”,
which the capital of Tatarstan organized for the first time this year. It took
place at several sites: Gorky Park, “Continent” and “Sosnovaya Roscha” (HoC
Khimikov), in the park “Zvezdny”, and others. The actors performed in front of
Kazan citizens and guests, master classes, competitions, draws, flash mobs were
organized for them. The field kitchen was working. It was possible to taste
fragrant pilaf in the park “Sosnovaya Roscha”.
Improvised
trading lines worked in the renovated park areas. There you could buy crafts
and sweets, created by Kazan schoolchildren. All the funds raised from their
sale will go to the aid of those in need.
Ilsur
Metshin thanked all participants of the action, first of all, children, for
their open and kind hearts.
“Both as
the father of four children and as the Mayor of Kazan, I really want our
children to grow up to be kind, sympathetic, and always hear those who need
help”, said the Mayor. “Help is not always money. It's a kind word, kind
advice, support. I am glad that our desire to live in good Kazan has found such
a response. Let's do everything to ensure that there was more kindness in our
city and our life”.
The
children gave the head of the city a collection of poems of disabled children
“Music in Silence”, which was recently presented in Kazan.
