(KZN.RU,
November 27, Alsu Safina). Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, paid special
attention to the topic of social volunteering commenting on the program of the
upcoming Decade of Disabled People on the Business Monday. “Not everything is
decided by money. Sometimes you need help with physical strength, time, or a
kind word. And all this is covered by volunteering. We need to develop social
volunteering not just sports one”, he said.
“We have
succeeded and have become an example for other cities in sports volunteering.
For the last 5 years, our volunteers have worked at the world's leading
sporting events: the Olympics, the Universiade, the world championships, and
the European and World Cups. But we need to carry out serious work on social
volunteering. In this, we are just at the beginning of the road”, Ilsur Metshin
addressed the meeting participants.
He
suggested discussing this topic at the forum “Good Kazan”, which will be held
in the Tatarstan’s capital in December, to study and master new ways of helping
people with disabilities.
