Charity event featuring planting trees was organized in the SOS children's community in Baku by the U.S. embassy in Azerbaijan, U.S. Counting Chamber and some private companies of the country. As many as 230 ornamental and fruit trees were planted at community’s territory during the event.
Representative of the U.S. Counting Chamber Nargiz Nasrullayeva said the action aims at improving environmental situation in the republic.
"Our organization was first involved in such an action, but we intend to carry it out regularly. Fundraising for a charity event started a few months ago and we could raise funds to buy more than 200 seedlings," she said.
Charity event brought together a large number of American guests and representatives from national organizations in the community. Director of children's community Rahib Dadashov thanked for interest in the fate of the children and expressed hope for further cooperation. Not only adults but also residents of the community were actively involved in planting seedlings.
