Եղիր այն փոփոխությունը, որ ուզում ես տեսնել. Սվետա Սարգսյանը Tedxkids@yerevan - ում

Hello. Last year in August I was involved in a very interesting project, that was aimed at encouraging kids with leadership skills to work on community issues. After a month of being involved in the project, me and my mom were passing by a kindergarten operating in our city. I saw the poor conditions of the kindergarten and thought: "If it looks like this from the outside, how would it be inside?" I asked my mom to let me go in and talk to the director. After our conversation with the director, I realized that indeed the internal situation was worse. The kids haven't used any new stationary for a long time. Knowing all that I thought: "What can I do to help the kindergarten?" What do you think I did? I decided to organize a charity event - Sportlandia. I was convinced that only a healthy body can house a healthy soul and that only the healthy soul is capable of philanthropy. I chose the date for Sportlandia and started organizational activities. Finally the big day arrived. Everything went better than expected. Most importantly, all the participants brought stationary with them. Everything ended very well. The next day I took all the stationary to that same kindergarten. The kids were happy and I was satisfied. I managed to do something useful for the kindergarten. Do you think I would stop at one project? Of course I didn't. Seeing the results of my work I got inspired to organize another charity event. This time it was aimed at helping families in need. This time I decided to organize a charity concert, all the benefit from which, in the form of foodstuff would go to the families in need. To organize the event I had to get the approval of the Mayor of my city, Gavar. And even though people were telling me: "Why do you even need that? He won't approve it anyway. Don't get yourself into trouble". But I didn't listen to anyone. I went to the mayor and presented my project and eventually got his approval. Two weeks after getting the approval the charity concert took place, all the benefits from which went to 10 families in need in the form of foodstuff. With this and my upcoming projects, I want to demonstrate that even a teenager under 16 can do something to help their peers, and stand by the young and people in need in their community and help to reduce their burden. One only needs to have purposefulness and willpower. I'm seeing the change I want to see in my community with my own experience. What about you? (Applause)
