MINSK (
BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko took part in the country's charity campaign Our Children on 29 December, attending the New Year Eve's children's charity event in Minsk with presents for Father Frost and Snow Maiden, BelTA has learned.
Traditionally, ahead of the performance, the head of state comes on stage and addresses the young audience. Then Father Frost and Snow Maiden announce the festivities open. This time, the president, before stepping up to the microphone, gave presents to the fairy-tale characters.
“Let me explain: all of us on New Year's Eve, and most of you, ask Father Frost for something. Father Frost gets nothing in return. That is why I have decided it would be right to congratulate Father Frost and the Snow Maiden on New Year and bring them some presents,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
What is in the gift sets? “There are some New Year Eve's drinks in there. For adults. You know, right? And sweets,” the president explained.

During this time, top officials of the country, the heads of government agencies and organizations, companies and banks, the largest public associations visit orphanages, hospitals, large families and family-type homes.
