A grand celebration organized by the regional organization of the Belarusian Women's Union crowned the Week of Parental Love, which was filled with charity events and celebrations in honor of Mother's Day and Father's Day.

The gifts of generous autumn, arranged in intricate compositions, not only emphasized the rich imagination of the participants from the primary organizations of the BWU but also brought good cheer, delighting with a multitude of colors and shapes.

As part of the forum, the traditional "Mom's Pies" event took place. Delicious baked goods and homemade preserves were presented to the soldiers of the 103rd Airborne Brigade.

Families who have become an example of sincere love and respect were invited to the celebration, including the Vyalovs, a large family with 13 children, and a young family. Addressing them, the Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee, Vyacheslav Durnov, emphasized:

-- The family is the basis, the foundation on which every state stands. And if there are more families like yours, our country will be stronger.

Love cements families: both the love of parents for children and the love of children for parents. Young people should not postpone having children: it is the laughter of children that strengthens the family.

The doll exhibition, presented for the competition of the regional organization of the BWU, which took place from August to October 2025, attracted great attention.

-- Today is truly a celebration that touches the hearts of all caring people, - noted the Chairperson of the regional organization of the BWU, Marina Novitskaya. - The Week of Parental Love started on October 14, Mother's Day, and concludes on the newest holiday, Father's Day. Today, we express our gratitude to those who gave us life, who give us the opportunity to feel like children.

It is symbolic that it is today that we are summing up the results of our competition for the creation of a doll – the symbol of our organization. All works were made with love and deserve praise. It was not easy for the jury to determine the very best, but according to the voting results, the work of the master of folk artistic crafts from the Dokshitsy District House of Crafts, Tatyana Martinovich, won.

The results of the "Women for the Food Security of Their Family and Their Country" competition were also announced, in which the Grand Prix was won by the primary organization of the BWU of the Regional Center for Psychiatry and Narcology.

The Week of Parental Love concluded with a festive concert.
