On the 11-12 of May at the OLYMPIA restaurant in Karaganda city an annual V DELUXE festival ended. It is pleasant that the organizers of such events began to do charity events during them.  There are lotteries, auctions and other forms of fundraising, but the truth that in regional centers such events are still rare. It can be said that the charity in the regions making the first tentative steps.

Visitors to the festival enjoyed a rich program of entertainment, interesting fashion-shows, got acquainted with the best offers of fashionable wedding and holiday services, and participated in the charity lottery. This year, the organizers of the exhibition as a recipient of a charity chose the "For special children - special attention" project of our foundation for the boarding school № 2, Temirtau town for children with developmental disabilities.  This project aims to equip a Montessori room in this educational institution. This special room is needed to accommodate the large number of items for Montessori Method. The main purpose of the Montessori material is to help in self-construction of a child and his/her spiritual development. Montessori equipment helps this development by providing children with the external stimuli that compel their attention and initiate the process of concentration.

During the festival, in the course of charitable lottery a gift and discount certificates and appliances were played: TV, laptop, camera, cell phones and more. Ticket price was 300 tenge, and only 93 000 tenge were managed to collect. To fully equip the Montessori room in a boarding № 2 in the Temirtau town it is need to collect 1,625,960 tenge. In conducting of charitable lottery, the "AYALA" foundation ispleased with the fact that the tradition of do good deeds is becoming increasingly common in the regions of Kazakhstan. We hope that the collected money during the festival will be the first building block in a project to help children with intellectual disabilities. We want to believe that businessmen and ordinary citizens of Karaganda and Karaganda region will take an active part in further fundraising for the "For special children - special attention" project in Temirtau town.

We express a huge gratitude the “Wedding Bouquet DELUXE” magazine, which acted as the organizer of the exhibition and the initiator of the charity lottery. We wish all the staff and management of the magazine success, longevity and large print run.
