“Together with the Intellectual Games Association, we have already implemented many interesting projects. In recent years, Chisinau City Hall has supported all areas of youth development. You have noticed that the capital is constantly hosting various activities for young people – sports competitions, tournaments, championships. We are working to make sure that the capital’s residents and guests have the opportunity to spend their free time in a qualitative, interesting and useful way”. – said Andrei Pavaloi, Deputy Head of the Education, Youth and Sport Directorate.

“I am glad it has already become a tradition. The Chisinau Zoo is happy that active families choose us as a place to spend their free time. This motivates us to become better and make you happy. Notice how the Zoo has been transformed for the better!” – noted Roman Crețu, Director of the Chisinau Zoo.

“This project is very dear to us. First of all, we see how Chisinau residents start to treat children with special needs differently: more understanding. Secondly, thanks to this project, more than 20 volunteers have emerged – boys and girls who are ready to get involved for the benefit of others, for the benefit of the city. And thirdly, we are grateful for the good coordination of various municipal bodies and enterprises – the City Hall, the Education Department, the Youth Center, the Zoo.” – said Evgeny Poleacov, President of the Association of Intellectual Games.
