Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A few months ago, a terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert complex in Moscow attracted the attention of the whole world, and civilians were injured.

Recently, a group of 100 children from families affected by this tragedy was solemnly welcomed at Tashkent International Airport. The Federation of Trade Unions of Uzbekistan and representatives of relevant ministries and departments greeted them with Uzbek hospitality.

After this, a meeting was held at the Federation of Trade Unions of Uzbekistan with the participation of guests.

The head of the Federation, Kudratilla Rafikov, told the young guests about the large-scale work being done to improve the physical, intellectual and spiritual development of children in our country. The Russian children, in turn, thanked the trip organizers for the invitation to spend their summer holidays in Uzbekistan.

“We were greeted very warmly,” says 12-year-old Lev Kolchin. “I hesitated when my mother asked if I would go to Uzbekistan. As soon as I arrived here, I realized that my decision was not a mistake. I think the summer holidays will be unforgettable for me and my friends.

Before sending the children to the Anor children’s health camp in the Bostanlyk district of the Tashkent region, they were given sportswear and the necessary technical equipment.

During the 14-day holidays, all conditions for a good rest are created for children from Russia. In particular, they will participate in various sports tournaments and master classes, where they will be taught by famous masters of sports. The children have at their disposal art, dance, theater, music clubs, a computer class, and a library.

It is planned to hold a water sports festival, interesting quests, comic relay races, screenings of foreign and domestic films and performances, as well as a video competition “Happy childhood in Anora”. Undoubtedly, excursions to historical places and attractions of Samarkand will leave a great impression on children.

The opening ceremony of the season at the Anor children’s health camp took place the day before yesterday. During the event, guests were greeted by the Minister of Preschool and School Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Hilola Umarova.
