Ilsur Metshin: "We have to instill the desire to do good deeds in children"

At the initiative of the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin work on the creation and development of projects aimed at charitable assistance to those in needs continues in the city.

"We have identified the program "Kind City" as one of the key objectives of our campaign "12 priorities", in which all our aspirations are intended to Kazan became the most comfortable, most comfortable city to live in Russia. And this task is impossible without the development and support of charity, philanthropy.

Fortunately, in million Kazan there are whole family dynasties, the great patrons of the arts, whose names are inscribed in golden letters in the history of the city. There are charities, whose work truly changed the lives of thousands of people, who gave them care and gave hope for a prosperous future.

We must foster the desire to do good things in our children. Children would receive the lessons of charity, learned how to help the needy, at school, along with training in reading, writing, mathematics, foreign languages. It is remarkable that such examples are already there: we see school charity fairs, for which children prepare crafts with all their sincerity and diligence, attract parents and grandparents to it. They do this voluntarily, united by a common goal, the desire to save someone's life, alleviate someone's pain. After 5 years these children will be students, after 10 years - will be parents. I am confident that, having received the first positive experience of charity in school, children will continue to do good deeds - at the behest of the heart, the goodness of the soul.

We want the charity has become an integral part of the live of each of Kazan resident. For every day we had the desire to do good things. And it is certainly not always a question of financial and material aid. Sometimes good deed, sincere attention, sympathy and empathy is more important.

Kazan already has individual charities and projects, but working together, we can do more good deeds. To separate streams resulted in a great ocean of love, where will be enough warmth and care for all" - the Mayor of Kazan said.
