The Heydar Aliyev Foundation has organized New Year festivities for children in need of special care, as well as those deprived of parental care, from refugee and IDP families, and with disabilities on the eve of World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day and the New Year at the Gulustan Palace in Baku.

At the initiative of Azerbaijan's First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation annually organizes festivities for children from orphanages and boarding schools, and children with special needs and from martyr families.

Children with disabilities from various orphanages and boarding schools, along with children from families of martyrs, were invited to the festive celebration.

The Gulustan Palace, festively decorated, welcomed the children with fairy-tale characters, providing them with the opportunity to transform into their favorite characters with the help of “face art”.

The festivities began with the screening of a video highlighting the care of National Leader of the Azerbaijani people Heydar Aliyev for children and his participation in the festive celebrations on the occasion of World Azerbaijanis Solidarity Day and the New Year.

The children enjoyed the event by dancing and singing songs in a festively decorated hall, accompanied by famous artists, as well as characters from beloved fairy tales and cartoons.

Concluding the entertainment program, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation presented holiday gifts to the children.
