The traditional celebration of the World Smile Day organized by AYALA Charity Foundation took place in "Fantasy World of Almaty" park. This year more than 500 children from six orphanages in Almaty and Almaty region celebrated the end of academic year and the beginning of vacation.

The eleventh, in its succession, event took place on May 29. Celebration guests were pupils of orphanages No.1 in Almaty and No.1 in Almaty region, children from "Zhanuya" specialized complex and SOS Children`s Village Almaty, as well as pupils of "Nur" and "Kovcheg" family-type children's homes in Talgar.

The first celebration for children, who for various reasons are not under parental care, was organized by the foundation in 2008. Since then the event has become the most awaited for schoolchildren. On this day they can take a ride in the park without limit. Also children wait for delicious treats - ice cream, fruit and lunch.

Together with "Fantasy World of Almaty" park the initiative of the fund was supported by Samsung Electronics Central Eurasia that acted as the general sponsor and assumed all organizational expenses. Also the celebration event has regular partners who take part in the project for many years. Lyubov Pak treated the children with oranges and their favorite lemonades. VITA BOTTLERS Company provided 700 bottles of water. Bananas and oranges for the children were presented by Sonata Kids children's clothing store.

The president of AYALA Charity Foundation Aidan Suleimenova noted: "11 years ago, when the first celebration was organized, we did not think that it would become such a good tradition. Over these years many graduates of orphanages, coming to their beloved teachers with warmth, remember the World Smile Day”.
