I. Metshin: "We have everything to make Kazan a really kind city"

(Kazan City KZN.RU, November 2, Ksenia Shvetsova). Autumn "Week of Kindness", which was attended by more than 100 thousand students, is completed in Kazan. The children organized charity events and helped homeless animals, collected funds for the treatment of seriously ill children. "Such events should not be held just once a year, a sense of kindness need to be cultivated in children throughout the school year", - the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin said today at a meeting of the stuff.

"Week of Kindness" should take place throughout the year, because the kindness, respect and attention to the needs of people should be brought up over the years - says I. Metshin. - We have identified 12 priorities in the development of the city for the next 5 years, and one of the most important is to make Kazan the city of kindness. We must teach our children to take care of the weak, because the aid is not always just about money, but often - in the usual attention. We have everything to make Kazan a really kind city, we need only attention and love for people for that".

"In this case not the number of events and even the number of schools that take part in them are important. Quality of the work is the most important - said I. Metshin. - Systematic work should be carried out in each district. To "ignite" in children the desire to do good deeds is primarily a matter of the teaching staff and the principal. Children everywhere are equally kind and helpful, it just need to shown to them in time".
