Volunteers of the Ashgabat Center of the National Society of the Red Crescent of Turkmenistan organized a New Year’s celebration for young patients of a city hospital. Through a charity campaign announced on social media, they managed to collect New Year gifts, toys, and other essential items. Various companies and many caring residents of the city took part in this initiative.

The volunteers of the National Society of the Red Crescent of Turkmenistan prepared a festive program that included:
• the magical appearance of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden;
• participation of fairy-tale characters;
• cheerful songs, games, performances, and dances.

While preparing for the event, the volunteers aimed to ensure that children who were forced to celebrate the holiday in hospital wards could feel the warmth and magic of the New Year.

In addition, the Volunteer Development Coordinator of the National Society of the Red Crescent of Turkmenistan, J. Gavrilova, involved the event agency “Rishat Event” in the initiative. On a charitable basis, the agency took responsibility for organizing a New Year’s celebration for children in another hospital.

As a result of the charity campaign, 65 young patients were reached. The children were immersed in a festive atmosphere and received sweet gifts from Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.

One of the key objectives of the Ashgabat Volunteer Center is to engage people in good deeds and unite society to provide humanitarian assistance. This event once again demonstrated the successful fulfillment of these goals by the volunteers.
