(KZN.RU 24 August, Alsu Safina). Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, said today at the city conference of teachers that every year more and more heads of educational institutions understands the need and the meaning of charity fairs. Participation of children in these on a voluntary basis helps Kazan to win a reputation as the city of good people, he said.

Citywide “Good Week” will be held from 5 to 10 September in the capital, which will end with the citywide fair of good on September 10. Ilsur Metshin expressed his confidence that the students take an active part in it.

“When a year ago we started the first charitable school fairs at the initiative of the students themselves, we have found understanding, but not from all heads of schools. But today it is becoming a tradition, of which I am very glad”, said the Mayor.

He noted that different platforms will be involved during the “Good Week”, including the renewed parks. Funds and organizations, which help people in difficult situations, will take part in charity events. “I believe that charity should be an integral part of the modern human”, said Ilsur Metshin.

I am confident that our efforts will lead to the fact that Kazan will become the city where mercy, kindness, compassion becomes the norm, adopted by all the inhabitants”.
