The festival is being held for the second time and is organised by Diana Gurtskaya’s Charity Fund On Call of the Heart, which assists blind and visually impaired children. This year, Russian pop stars join these children who come from all over Russia and other CIS nations, to perform duets.
White Cane Day is celebrated every year on October 15. Its symbol — the white cane – is used by visually impaired people as a mobility tool. White Cane Day aims to draw attention to the problem of mobility for the visually impaired.
