    "I am confident that in such a challenging time for our country, socially responsible businesses must be the driving force in supporting our citizens. We call on everyone to unite in the fight against coronavirus and help our government address this issue. There is no time to waste. We must act now!".

    The voice of the planet

    In the same year, the Foundation initiated and financed a musical project, the song "Planet", created in collaboration with Yerkesh Shakeev. The composition recalls the fragility of nature and our responsibility to future generations.

    "In mid-March, when we all found ourselves in quarantine, I had a thought that nature was punishing us for recklessly disrupting its delicate balance on the planet! With this in mind, I asked my friend Erkesh Shakeev to write a song and music that would reflect this injustice. After all, music has the power to touch the deepest strings of the human soul, making each of us reflect on what is happening".
