A charity ball for persons with special needs was staged in Chisinau under the theme “In Love with Life”. The proceeds will go to organize a rehabilitation center, IPN reports.



Liudmila Shishkina, of “Floarea Soareluiˮ (“Sunflower”) Foundation, said the idea appeared three years ago and was then discussed thoroughly, as regards organizational aspects. “Our children dreamed of becoming princes and princesses and we hope that today this story is turning real,” said the organizer, noting that more such events will be yet held.

Deputy mayor Angela Kutasevich said that this is a holiday of kindness, happiness and love. She voiced hope that the event will be memorable and will become a good start for the next editions.



In the event, there was presented the “Primer of Equality” penned by a mother who raises a child with special needs. The book is designed to increase the level of acknowledgment and acceptance of children with disabilities. Dances and a performance by people’s artist Constantin Moscovici were organized at the National Museum of History of Moldova, which hosted the ball.



The event brought together over 150 invitees.
