«All the beautiful feelings of this world weighs less than one good
deed». G.Lowell

 

The end of last year has not been easy for all of us. Charity organizations have been most greatly affected by
the crisis. The amounts of donations from the corporations have decreased dramatically.
Due to this fact many projects that were started last year have no longer
sufficient financial support. But some of these very projects can not be
postponed or cancelled since they are vitally important for lives of many
people.

 

At the beginning of the year 2009 the second Charity Rock Concert "ZONE
OF HOPE" took place in Moscow.
The project was a part of the Charity Marathon that was going on during Business Forum "Russia 2009". The concert is organized in support of children with diagnosis ICP (infantile cerebral paralysis), and construction of the medical
centre for them and is patronized by the famous actor and singer Gosha Kutsenko.

More than 2000 people came to this concert. The finances obtained are going to be spent on the completion of the rehabilitation centre for children with disfunctions of the motor
and neuro systems.

The following famous rock singers and bands participated in the concert
which took place in "Gostiny Dvor": Vadim and Gleb Samoilovy «Agate Кристи», "UMA2RMAН", Ма, Sergey Galanin and group "SerGa", Alexander F. Skljar, "7B" and Gosha Koutsenko. The artists hoped that they would be able to draw the attention of the society to the one of the
serious problems of the XXI century.

Apart from the above-mentioned artists "Miss World 2008" Ksenia Sukhinova and "Ex-Miss Russia
2008" Vera Krasova came to support the project. The first beauties of the
planet expressed their wish to participate in such a great charity project of
our country.

The second charity project "ZONE OF HOPE" has been supported not only by the artists, but
by the politicians, businessmen, representatives of first-rank banks, insurance
companies, financial and industrial corporations, mass media and religious
confessions of the country.

Recently the «TBN Russia» has drawn the public attention
to Maxim Davydov, a 3-year old child with ICP diagnosis. The boy is a member of
the local Methodist Church in town of Otradniy, Samarskaya oblast. The first
step in the long process of recovery from the disease was his participation in
an art-exhibition arranged by «CAF Russia» in October 2008. The exhibition was aimed to unite the companies who were ready to re-arrange their
budgets and donate the finances to support the most vulnerable members of our
society - orphans, disabled, seriously ill and homeless children as well as
aged citizens.

In February Maxim together with his mother and a pastor of RUMC (Russian United Methodist
Church) Roman Bagdasarov participated in the second charity rock-concert "ZONE
OF HOPE". The organizers of the concert were aimed to achieve the following
goals: 1) to draw the public attention to the children with ICP diagnosis; 2)
to collect the finances to complete and equip the medical centre for such kids.
In the nearest future Maxim will become the first patient of the centre and be
provided all the necessary treatment.

Worldwide the charity is considered to be one of the most important spheres of the society.
The celebrities contribute their physical and material resources into various
Charity Funds. Russia has begun first steps in this direction. The charity
organizations are being founded, the concerts, auctions and exhibitions are
being arranged to collect at least some resources to help those in need!

Non-commercial fund "Treatment and Rehabilitation Centre for Children with ICP" was founded in
the year 2002 by Oleg Gaidakov, who once himself was an ICP patient. He managed
to overcame the disease and shared his experience in a book "Other Destiny" (M.
2003). The head of the trustee committee of the fund is a famous Russian actor
Yury Georgievich Kutsenko (Gosha Kutsenko).
