The charity event was held with the initiative of the Georgian businesswoman from Belgium - Guli Managadze who brought some of the presents for the kids from Belgium right away. Vera Kobalia said: “I am proud that we have such businessmen abroad. I was very nervous before coming here but after getting acquainted with these kids I was sure that we must be proud of them because they are very talented and open. This is the future of our country. We all have our problems, business affairs but all this is drawn back as soon as you step into an orphanage. Every single person must be involved in this case, this is the business of the whole country and we must dedicate at least 15-20 minutes to thinking of possible ways to help these kids and raise them as successful men and women.”
Guli Managadze mentioned that she once was a refugee from Abkhazia and was an orphan like this kids that is why he always felt sorry for the children who were left without families. “When my Belgian friends found about my plan, they decided to help as well; they gave me blankets and clothes a lot of which was made by their very own hands” – Guli Managadze said.
The Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development plans on holding similar charity events in the future as well.
