On Tuesday, January 14, DPR People’s Council Chairman Vladimir Bidyovka delivered New Year presents from deputies of the People’s Council of the Donetsk People’s Republic to wards of the Republic’s care institutions. According to the correspondent of the DPR Official Website, this action is of a regular nature.

Within the framework of the working visit, DPR People’s Council Chairman Vladimir Bidyovka visited children in social difficulties living in the Khartsyzsk Children’s Social Welfare Center, children with disabilities from Makeyevka Specialized Boarding School No. 16, and children in state care living in Donetsk Teremok orphanage No. 1.

In addition, Vladimir Bidyovka transferred fruits and presents from the DPR People’s Council Office for children undergoing treatment at the Institute of Emergency and Reconstructive Surgery named after V. K. Gusak. It is worth noting that this New Year humanitarian action is held annually.

“The Old New Year is a bright traditional holiday of the Russian people, and I would like as many children as possible to feel being attended to and cared of on this day. Today, presents were received by 229 children from socially vulnerable categories in difficulty, children having various health problems who are especially in need of warmth and care,” Vladimir Bidyovka said.

“At our medical institution, children are treated in three departments: pediatric oncohematology, cardiac surgery and a burn center. Today they were congratulated on the holiday and given presents. It is very important that children are attended to, assisted and cared of. Children are sacred, they are the legacy we will leave behind, they are the future of our country,” Emil Fistal, the director of the Institute of Emergency and Reconstructive Surgery named after V. K. Gusak, professor, honored worker of science and technology, commented.
