Representatives of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation have visited orphanages and boarding schools to provide children with presents on the eve of the World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day and New Year.

Each year, on the eve of the December 31, the Foundation, headed by the First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva, organizes such annual festivities for children from orphanages and boarding schools at Buta Palace.

Taking into account the coronavirus pandemic, and that the organization of the celebration does not meet the requirements of a special quarantine regime, the Foundation congratulated children in another way.

The Foundation prepared presents for children according to their tastes and wishes in order to create a festive mood for children, who always looked forward for the events organized by the foundation. Children were presented toys symbolizing the year of 2021, their favourite sweets and Lego constructions.

The festive campaign organized by the Foundation covered about 2,000 children.

Gifts of Heydar Aliyev Foundation were delivered to orphanages, boarding schools, social service institutions for children with special needs and Children Psychoneurological Center in Baku, Ganja, Lankaran and Sheki.

Earlier, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation sent gifts to 100,000 families on the occasion of the World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day and the New Year.
