The "New Year Tree of Wishes" campaign continues at the National Centre RUSSIA
A scooter,
boxing gloves, and a tour of an animation studio — First Deputy Chief of Staff
of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia Sergei Kiriyenko took part in
the All-Russian "New Year Tree of Wishes" campaign. He picked three
cards with children's wishes off the tree at the National Centre RUSSIA.
Nine-year-old
Arsen from the village of Bayrak in the Republic of Bashkortostan dreams of
having a scooter; 12-year-old Darya from the Zaporozhye region asked for boxing
gloves; and nine-year-old Diana from Veliky Novgorod wished to visit an
animation studio.
The
All-Russian "New Year Tree of Wishes" campaign has been held since
2018 and helps fulfil the dreams of children facing difficult life
circumstances. It brings a sense of New Year magic and reminds us that miracles
really do happen. Over the course of the project, more than 320,000 children's
wishes have been granted.
Russian
President Vladimir Putin also took part in the campaign. On 3 December, he
visited the National Centre RUSSIA, where he picked three cards with the wishes
of children who found themselves in difficult situations.
The launch
of the "New Year Tree of Wishes" was given by Ded Moroz from Veliky
Ustyug at the National Centre RUSSIA on 20 November. The country's chief winter
magician arrived directly from his residence to meet the children, answer their
questions and hand out the first gifts.
The main outcome of the outgoing year in Russia is the maturity reached by society.
Dear visitors, from 1 to 5 December the National Centre RUSSIA will be closed to the public.
