A special role in organizing the festival was played by the National Society of Red Crescent of Turkmenistan. The volunteers and members of the National Society of Red Crescent of Turkmenistan created a children's corner where young participants could express their creativity. Workshops on origami, quilling, and drawing on asphalt allowed children not only to have fun but also to develop their skills. Each child not only received gifts but also spent time in a fun and friendly atmosphere. In the eyes of these children, we saw sincere happiness and gratitude. Bright colors, fun games, and creative workshops created an atmosphere of celebration and magic. Thanks to the support of the National Society of Red Crescent of Turkmenistan, festival was able to give children unforgettable experiences and make them a little happier.
This festival is a vivid confirmation that every child, regardless of their abilities, has the right to a happy childhood. We are confident that such events contribute to the creation of a more inclusive and tolerant society.
