Azarova Elina Biography

In Samara, you can see with your own eyes the transformation of the doll into a butterfly and how important it is that in centuries, no matter what the tradition of doing good deeds has been preserved. Indifferent to the problems of others, people are united in funds and NPOs and help in private. Our region is one of the leaders of the volunteer movement, ”Ellina Vyacheslavovna Azarova begins a conversation with us.

For many years she participated in many charity initiatives, not so long ago she became the chairman of the trusteeship of the BF "Joy". With a professional team of philanthropists, they help young talents and children left without parental care, find their place in life, realize and believe that there are still many good people in our world. In an interview with GL, Ellina Azarova spoke about her wards, new projects and how charity solves not only individual problems, but also helps the systemic optimization of many social tasks.

But your activity of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Charitable Fund began not so long ago with the project “Creativity. What served as an impulse to take responsibility for this position? And why did they choose gifted children as wards? When the youngest daughter was still a child, she was engaged in vocals and dances, I went a lot with her for competitions and festivals.

Each time I admired: how many talented children we have in different areas - dancers, vocalists, artists! Talents need to help, and children especially. They are not yet guided in the adult world, do not know where to go, where to apply and show their abilities. To a greater extent, this applies to children - pupils of orphanages and boarding schools. They, like no one else, need the support and participation of adults in their fate.

It is important to help them realize their abilities, their uniqueness, significance and place in society. Of course, within the framework of the charity fund, children can help children much more effective. Especially the same as the Fund "Joy", to which in our region there is the trust of people and the authorities, and most importantly - dozens of large implemented projects in a variety of directions.

The fund has experience, worked out ways to solve problems. In addition, this is a team - a team of like -minded people. I get acquainted with amazing kind people - teachers and educators. Their work is worthy of admiration! I learn a lot of stories from the life of children, often tragic and nigging hearts. They share their dreams, plans, introduce us to their friends, hobbies.

Submitted into the world of each of them, it is already impossible to remain indifferent. What new projects do you develop today? This is assistance to children without parental care, children with disabilities, talented children. But the situation in the country changes and new tasks arise. This year we try to help children from Donetsk and Snezhny, help our soldiers who are in the zone of his, and those who are treated in the Samara military hospital.

This year, the Commissioner for the Rights of the Child under the President of the Russian Federation made an initiative to create teenage spaces in the regions. This is a place where the guys could come at any time to chat, do an interesting thing, make lessons and spend time with benefit. We decided to support this undertaking. Our task is to prepare a room, to form a team of professionals who can work with adolescents.

We plan to open a mentoring center there, the department of our television studio "My - TV", organize a theater studio. There are many interesting ideas with us and the guys themselves. Tell us how it was. Kolya immediately “hooked” me, I reviewed the video several times. The voice reminded me of the young Edward Hil, whom I loved to listen in childhood. I sent a video to the TV channel.

Kolya overcame the district tour and went to the federal marathon, which took place on June 12, on the day of Russia. During her visit, to the orphanage "Unity" in Togliatti met Kolya personally. That same summer, Kolya was taken to the project "You are Super." I wanted to support a talented child from our region. And I am very pleased with the result - Kolya reached the finals. Now he continues to engage in vocals, plays on several tools.

In the year he entered the Togliatti music college named after Engaged in volunteering. Do you have examples of progressive interaction of the charity fund and authorities? So, for example, specialists of the Joy charity fund, doing a huge job of socialization of orphans and children without parental care, realized that it is very important to support the children at the time of the transition to an independent life.

Legal, psychological, social support is necessary. And in the year, the Ministry of Socio-Demographic and Family Policy, together with the Fund, developed a program of post-anteal support for graduates of orphanages and replacing families of the Samara region, which is implemented with the support of our government. The fund is a provider of social services. We try to help everyone.The questions are different: how to organize your time, how to properly distribute the budget, what to do if you parted with your loved one and you are very difficult in your soul, where to go to work and many other different life situations.

On the eve of the New Year holidays, the Government of the Samara Region provided young people with a large number of apartments. This is very good, and we are happy for our wards. We really want to help our households organize life, create comfort in new apartments.

So the action “History of one move” was born, and we, GL magazine, became partners in this good story. I want to thank everyone who has already participated in the collection of household items and furniture for the children, and those who still decide to make them a gift. What do you think, what is the reason that it is for them - this is not only a trend, but also an important part of everyday life?

For many people to help others is an integral part of life, a mental impulse. What a huge army of volunteers we have! And our region is among the leaders of this movement, the main composition of which is youth. And that's great! This means that the young generation adopts our traditions and values, believes in good and its victory always. The eldest daughter Polina in the summer worked as a psychologist in a children's camp, now she improves her qualifications - she is studying on a crisis psychologist.

This direction is very in demand today. Alena, while living in Samara, performed in many charitable concerts, including at our auction, led the competition “Creativity. The difficulty of attracting children to some joint initiatives is that they live in another city. But they understand and accept what I do.
