(KZN.RU, May 23, Mikhail Chentsov). The most active first-graders – participants of the Good Deeds Diary project were awarded today in Kazan on Kremlin embankment during the Farewell Bell ceremony for graduate high school students. The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin took part in the awarding ceremony.

Since September, 1st 2016 every first-grader of Kazan has been granted a gift from the Mayor of the city – a Good Deeds Diary. For the duration of the year they were supposed to record good deeds and actions. First-graders have also been keeping the online diaries on the дневникдобрыхдел.рф. They participated in contests and quizzes dedicated to the kindness.

In December 2016 this project had been presented at the 1st Open forum “Kind Kazan: developing charity culture” and received very positive feedback from the experts in the field of philanthropy. So, a member of the Public chamber of the Russian Federation, head of Social Information Agency Elena Topoleva called the Good Deeds Diary a unique project. “We know some similar local examples in two or three schools, but when all city schools, all students receive a diary, keep it, and it becomes a kind of system – we’ve never seen it anywhere else. It speaks of seriousness of the authorities and civil society in shaping the culture of philanthropy”, she said in an interview to KZN.RU.
