Yuriy Sugak.: - Good afternoon Oksana, good afternoon Bogdan. We are happy to greet the guests of Kyiv studio and all our TV audience. All-Ukrainian action on raising funds for the Children’s hospital of the future has really become All Ukrainian. I would rather say it has become nationwide. The idea is being supported by more and more people, different organizations, major business structures, charity funds and well-known people. That is why, here in the studio, we can see the President of the Foundation for Development of Ukraine Rinat Akhmetov and the Director of the Foundation Anatoliy Zabolotnyi.  The first question is addressed to the Director of the Foundation. Anatoliy, please, tell us, how do you see the participation of the Foundation for Development of Ukraine in the project, what is the contribution of the Foundation?
Anatoliy Zabolotnyi.: - Indeed, the Foundation for Development of Ukraine has made the decision to support the project. We are going to contribute 12 million 800 thousand dollars USA. Why is that amount? We would like to build and equip the surgery block of the hospital, the basis and the heart of the hospital, the place where the most complicated surgeries will be performed, the surgeries, which cannot be performed in Ukraine today. That’s why we are not just contributing the money, we are also taking responsibility, the responsibility for construction and equipping of the hospital. We are a partner within the framework of the project. We are going to participate in the work of the Supervisory Board and to develop the strategy; and we will discuss problems and search for solutions. It is important for us that everybody in "Ukraina 3000" Fund is very well aware that it’s not just enough to build a modern hospital. It’s important to make medical services accessible for the Ukrainian families and to ensure that any family facing the trouble could have a chance to save their child. And we believe that every single child will be taken care on the scale of the project.
Y.S.: - And this is the question, which I would like to address to Rinat Akhmetov. Rinat Leonidovich, why has the Foundation, which you are in charge of and whose President you are, made the decision to participate in the project?
Rinat Akhemtov: "As you know, the grand thoughts come from the heart. We are here by the call of heart. I think all of us should still learn charity. Charity means the ability to feel other peoples’ pain. Charity means the ability to share other peoples’ pain. Charity also means system fight against system problems. Each of us is in the charity activity. Each of us does not ignore other people’s misfortunes and each of us helps neighbors as possible. And, as a rule, this is done single-handed. However, to our greatest regret, we have system problems on our way and they can’t be settled by one person. To settle these problems we need to unite; we need to unite to win. I want to say one more time that we are here by the call of heart.
Y.S.: - Thank you; these were the President of the Foundation for Development of Ukraine Rinat Akhmetov and the Director of the Foundation Anatoliy Zabolotnyi.
