"I am a lucky person. I've got a chance to meet unique people, and each of them has brought something new into my life. Some of them have helped me to look at usual things from a new perspective, while others supported all bold projects and endeavors. My help to school is a need to express my sincere gratitude for taking care of the very important period of a child's life when all the basic views, character traits, abilities and skills are being formed under the guidance of mentors and teachers, when a child begins to realize himself as a person and determine his own way."
