On August 26, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation organized a holiday programme in Gabala for children deprived of parental care, children in need of special care, and pupils distinguished in education.
The programme covered various infants and children’s’ homes, boarding homes from Baku, Sheki and Gabala cities, and from the Rehabilitation Centre for People with Down Syndrome.
Leaving Baku for Gabala, children started to experience moments full of joy from the very first minutes in the aircraft. Children’s joy could be read on their faces. They were living one of the happiest days in their lives.
An interesting holiday was waiting for children who were heading to Gabala together with merry clowns. Favourite heroes of the children welcomed them at the Gabala airport with colourful balloons in their hands.
Experiencing the joy of spending a summer holiday together with friends, children left for an entertainment space in Gabala in specially allocated for them busses.
A special programme had been devised in order that children coming to Gabaland Entertainment Centre spend their resting and leisure time more efficiently. Here, children readily participated in various types of entertainment according to their age groups.
Starting from Gabaland’s skating ground in a hot summer day, the entertainment was replaced by various amusement facilities and games. Children’s dancing with fairy tale heroes and clowns on the Centre’s vast ground under music turned the holiday programme into a real festivity. Some were dancing, some shooting a selfie, others joining various games, and sharing their impressions.

Having been operating since 2004, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation has held many events aiming to educate children deprived of parental care, and implemented projects in the spheres of education and healthcare in our country. Within the framework of the programme “Development of Children’s Homes and Boarding Schools”, the Foundation has carried out basic repair and reconstruction of over 30 children’s homes and boarding schools in our country. The most important of these works is that the Heydar Aliyev Foundation has surrounded infants and children deprived of parental care with true family care.
With a view to organizing the education of juveniles studying at children’s homes and boarding schools on a high-level, instilling in them the spirit of patriotism and efficiently organizing their leisure, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation has been holding regular mass events, festivals, and competitions, and providing every necessary support for the education of children inhabiting establishments, amateur groups, music, dance, carpet-weaving and painting circles functioning here. Regular and systematic events held by the Foundation have aimed at bringing up the growing generation as worthy citizens, surrounding them with necessary care. Along with the projects implemented, President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva, Vice-president of the Foundation Leyla Aliyeva have been constantly visiting infants and children’s homes, boarding schools, inquiring about their daily problems. Lavished upon by care of a family, these children and juveniles spend both holidays and leisure together with representatives of the Foundation.
Within the programmes “New Schools for Renewed Azerbaijan”, “Support for Education” and “Development of Preschool Education Establishments”, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation holds various events to support the state’s projects and reforms in the field of education, creates new education complexes meeting modern standards, and implements programmes towards improving education. Participation of pupils distinguished in education in the holiday programme arranged in Gabala was a continuation of events in this sphere.
The Heydar Aliyev Foundation has also implemented programmes aiming to integrate persons in need of special care into the society as citizens enjoying full rights. From this point of view, socially-oriented events arranged at the Rehabilitation Centre for People with Down Syndrome, constructed with the Foundation’s support, may be cited.
The holiday programme arranged in Gabala will remain in children’s memory as another happy day. Children shared impressions of this day around the lunch table arranged for them, in the course of interesting chats. Within the framework of the programme, children played, danced among fairy-tale heroes, merry clowns, and competed in quizzes.
During the trip, children were given gifts from the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, as a pleasant memory of this nice holiday.
Then, a trip was taken to Nohurgol, one of the beautiful landscapes of Gabala- a picturesque place of Azerbaijan. The holiday programme arranged by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation gave a good opportunity to children and juveniles to make themselves closely familiarized with another region of Azerbaijan, along with enjoying efficient recreation and entertaining themselves together with friends. Children finished another meaningful holiday by enjoying the beauty of nature.
