At the marathon of kindness, the dreams of children from different Russian regions who wished to receive school backpacks as a gift came true.

Zalina Salimova, an excellent student from the city of Mamadysh, asked for a backpack with accessories for her younger sister Camilla, who is going to first grade in September. The surprise for the sister was a success thanks to the participation of the head of the Mamadysh municipal district Anatoly Ivanov.

16-year-old Vera Stepanova from Izhevsk was given a backpack by employees of the West Ural Interregional Department of Rosprirodnadzor.

The marathon performer Svetlana Charushina made a gift to Daria Oborina from Perm, and the knapsack was presented to Denis Orlov from Nizhnekamsk by employees of the Nizhnekamskneftekhim company.

Employees of the Volga-Kama Interregional Department of Rosprirodnadzor handed a backpack to Elvina Malova from Nizhnekamsk.

Congratulations to the guys with gifts and we wish them excellent grades in the new academic year!
