There is a wonderful holiday on February 17 - the International Day of Spontaneous Kindness, which is celebrated in different countries to set an example for others and emphasize the importance of good deeds towards each other. For 4 years in a row, this significant day has been celebrated in New York at the My Way children's creativity center. The tradition was started in February 2021, when a grand online marathon was held, in which musicians, performers, artists, public and political figures from different countries took part, expressing with their participation the meaning and influence of kindness for human upbringing. During the pandemic, the President of Brooklyn and now the 110th Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, declared Kindness Day an annual event. This year, politicians came to the children to become part of the historical event, so that together they could radiate positive energy, setting an example of kindness. Also this year, N'joy Entertainment joined the Kindness Day by donating balloons to the children. Professional artists and teachers of the center also contributed. The highlight of the event was the “Tree of Kindness”, which was collected from kind words: love, smile and children's laughter. Anastasia Yaskova, Brooklyn Boro Director CAU office of the Mayor, presented the My Way center with a certificate of honor from the Mayor of the city, Eric Adams. Many years ago I saw the first children’s works and was delighted, so I carefully follow the children’s successes, look at their work on FaceBook and rejoice along with their parents: acrylic paintings, pencil drawings, incredible progress in their work is visible. I admire teacher Emin Guliyev. The works of children from the center were shown at the exhibition “Uniting people and all religions for peace on earth” in Davos at the International Economic Forum, where they were taken by teachers from the center. Also, talented children visiting the center take part in exhibitions held by the newspaper "R.Advertising". The center is headed by an excellent teacher Alena Badalova. Children dancers in national costumes always decorate any event, be it government receptions or various charity concerts. But the most important thing is that I saw how children rush and run to classes and they do not have time to simply and aimlessly waste their lives on the street. Of course, this is the merit of teachers and their parents. The Children's Art Center is trying to survive in difficult conditions and is immensely grateful for the help provided by Ari Kagan, as a member of the New York City Council, as well as the New York City Council, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, and the NYS Council on the Arts, which allows continue to teach our children culture, creativity and self-improvement. Thanks to all the kind people who help the center. Interview with President CYDC My Way by Alena Badalova recorded by Marina Lagunova

When I came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again. Her phone number is +380638055486, she has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
Lily gave me back not only my husband, but also the reason to breathe.
I walked to Lilia with trembling hands, afraid to believe that anything could change. But she looked at me as if she saw all my pain at once. The rituals she performed seemed to lift a heavy layer of despair from me. And suddenly, my husband appeared at the door. He stood there, silent, and then said, “I feel bad without you. I tried to forget, but it didn’t work.” I can’t forget that moment. Lilia gave me back not only my husband, but also the reason to breathe. Her phone number is +380638055486, she also has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
After 20 years of marriage, I thought all was lost...
My husband and I became like neighbors. No heart-to-heart talks, no warmth, constant criticism. I was already considering divorce, but I decided to give it one last try and turned to Lilia. She didn't judge or offer "magic recipes"; she simply saw the real us. She said everything could be fixed if I really wanted it. My husband and I began to change. Slowly, but sincerely. A year has passed, and we are together again. Not just in the same house, but close in spirit. Thank you, Lilia. You see what others cannot see.
