BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 26. An entertainment event for children requiring special care was held on August 26 at the initiative of Mehriban Aliyeva, President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.
Children of Azerbaijani servicemen who lost their lives while defending and restoring the country’s territorial integrity, children deprived of parental care and living in boarding schools, children with disabilities, and those requiring special care were invited to the event.
The celebration was organised to provide the children with an enjoyable and memorable day, create opportunities for meaningful leisure activities and ensure that every child felt surrounded by attention and care.
The children arrived at recreation venues by special buses and participated in a wide range of entertainment programmes and games throughout the day.
They also demonstrated their abilities during creative workshops and master classes, danced and spent time with their peers.
The seaside event, held in a summer atmosphere, also provided children with an opportunity to enjoy activities in the swimming pool.
