Guests and participants of the forum were warmly welcomed at Vitebsk Secondary School No. 12 named after L.N. Filipenko.

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

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

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

Families who have become examples of sincere love and respect were invited to the celebration, including the large Vyalyov family with 13 children, and a young family. Addressing them, 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 parents' love for children and children's love for parents. Young people should not postpone having children: it is the laughter of children that strengthens the family.

The doll exhibition, presented at the competition of the regional organization of the Belarusian Women's Union, which took place from August to October 2025, attracted great attention.

"Today is truly a holiday that touches the hearts of all caring people," noted Marina Novitskaya, Chairperson of the regional organization of the Belarusian Women's Union. "Parental Love Week started on October 14, on Mother's Day, and concludes on the newest holiday, Father's Day. Today, we express our gratitude to those who gave us life, who allow us 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 the works were made with love and deserve praise. It was not easy for the jury to choose the very best, but according to the voting results, the work of Tatiana Martinovich, a master of folk arts and crafts from the Dokshitsy District House of Crafts, won.

The results of the "Women for the Food Security of Their Families and Their Country" competition were also announced, where the Grand Prix was awarded to the primary organization of the Belarusian Women's Union of the Regional Center for Psychiatry and Narcology.

Parental Love Week concluded with a festive concert.
