Greetings to 9th White Cane International Charity Festival

October 15, 2018

Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants, organisers and guests of the 9th White Cane International Charity Festival underway in Moscow.

The message reads, in part:

”It is good to see that your project has been developing and gaining interesting ideas and creative approaches, and has been successfully carrying out its noble mission of providing help to children who have found themselves in difficult life situations, giving them a wonderful opportunity to believe in themselves, choose a future profession, and make new friends. And of course, the festival, with its new young talent and renowned and popular artists, enjoys wide public support while promoting the wonderful traditions of charity in our country.“

The White Cane International Charity Festival was established to provide assistance to children with limited mobility by involving them in creative activities. The festival's highlight is the gala performance, where the children perform on stage with pop stars as well as renowned screen and stage actors, athletes, and politicians.
