Putin highly appreciates charity foundation helping children with cancer
..
ST. PETERSBURG, May 30 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin highly appreciated the activity of the Podari Zhizn charity
foundation helping children who suffer from cancer. He attended a charity
literary and musical soiree "Little Prince" on Saturday.
"You are doing a great and good job, spearing no time," he said,
adding that "time is the most precious thing a human being has."
According to the prime minister, over the five years of its existence
the foundation has evolved into a recognized non-governmental
organization. "It is a respected organization, and people are confident
that the money raised by the foundation will go to pay for expensive
treatment and to buy medicines. Last year, the foundation raised some 100
million roubles, which went to finance rehabilitation and treatment of
patients, and to buy medicines," he said.
In his words, Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince teaches us
the main thing: "You become responsible for anyone who needs your help,"
and the Podari Zhizn foundation offers help, including moral, to anyone
who needs it. "Kindness, hope, love. If we rely on it, we shall overcome
all the problems, both everyday and those related to health," he stressed.
He wished all those present success and said it was vitally important
that "there were people who could lend their shoulder."
The charity party is held within the framework of St. Petersburg's
City Day. Apart from renown actors and musicians, taking part in the
musical "The Little Prince" are children who are under the foundation's
charge.
