In Vitebsk, a charity marathon “Ball of Good” was launched

It would seem that the main winter holiday is still far away. But New Year’s Eve magic takes time, inspiration and big hearts. Therefore, on October 1, the international charity friendship marathon “Ball of Good” was officially launched in Vitebsk. The project, which brings together caring people from Belarus and Russia for the fourth year in a row, is held under the auspices of the Vitebsk Regional Association of Local Councils of Deputies. It's reported by sb.by.

Head of the Executive Directorate of the Vitebsk Regional Association of Local Councils of Deputies Ekaterina Lazovskaya noted:

- The essence of the initiative is that masters of decorative and applied arts, artisans, art studios and independent authors create unique Christmas toys. Each such work is not just a beautiful decoration for a beautiful Christmas tree, but a symbol of warmth, care and support.

Preparations for the new marathon season traditionally began in the summer. During the International Festival of Arts “Slavic Bazaar in Vitebsk” headliners of the stage joined the action: such stars as Grigory Leps, Shura, Klava Koka and other performers left their autographs and warm wishes on future “balls of good”.

The theme of this year’s marathon is “Wings of Good.” The authors are invited to embody in the New Year's toy images of angels, birds, feathers, clouds, balloons and cherished desires. The main technical conditions: the ball must be made of unbreakable material with a diameter of 10 to 15 cm. From each participant one author's work is accepted. Masters from Belarus and CIS countries are invited to join the project. Anyone can participate in a charity marathon.

To participate, it is necessary to send the completed participant questionnaire and consent to data processing to the email address info@as-vit-dep.by by November 1;

until november 15 - record a mini-video (up to 1 minute) about the process of creating the ball and attach up to 5 photos from the stages of its manufacture;

until November 25 - send the finished work by mail to the address: 210015, Vitebsk, St. Gogola, 14, 86.

The culmination of the project will be a large exhibition, which will open on December 5 in the concert hall “Vitebsk”. After it, the author’s balls, with the consent of the masters, will become part of the charity fair. All proceeds will be used for a vital purpose – the purchase of rehabilitation equipment (those that are not included in the state register) for children with disabilities. Each story of such assistance is targeted and will be told on social networks.

Create your own unique ball and let this year there will be a little more light in the world, healing good and fulfilling hopes!
