June 1, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. Vitebsk schoolchildren held a city charity event "Children to Children!" today, the Education Department of the Vitebsk City Executive Committee informed a BELTA correspondent. Specifically for the International Children's Day, students from all 47 general education schools of the regional center collected sports equipment, toys, stationery, and other items for children from disadvantaged families who are in the social shelter of the Vitebsk City Socio-Pedagogical Center. The solemn handover of gifts took place today at the Center for Creativity of Children and Youth of the Pervomaysky District. All schools in the city regularly hold events for children in children's homes and social shelters. However, Gymnasium No. 8 is undoubtedly the leader in such activities. Students of this educational institution annually hold charity marathons in support of children in need, organize other interesting events, and this year they have already managed to respond to a call for help for a child with a disability who needed to raise funds for treatment. -0-
