The message reads, in part:
“Several years ago the Call of the Heart Foundation suggested marking International White Cane Day with a creative charity event. It is very important that this initiative, necessary and important in a human sense, has received broad public support and has helped many children to show their talents and abilities.
I am certain that gathered here today are people who are not indifferent to other people’s hardships, who are trying to do everything possible to help the children feel happy and confident in the future, help them feel sincere sympathy.”
