Nooruz symbolizes renewal, the arrival of spring, the awakening of all life and the beginning of a new stage of life. The holiday roots back to antiquity - it was celebrated in the VII-VI centuries BC. In September 2009, Nooruz received international holiday status and was included in UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. In 2010 the UN General Assembly declared Nooruz International Day. 

On the eve of the holiday, people tidy up their homes, get rid of unnecessary things and try to make peace with everyone they have quarrelled with. On the day of the holiday, everyone tries to be in a good mood, embracing one another and expressing their kindest and best wishes to bypass all troubles and misfortunes. Nooruz is a holiday of peace, harmony and unity.

On this wonderful holiday, let's share the good mood with our beneficiaries, who desperately need help. Our foundation's beneficiaries - seriously ill children - must fight daily for the right to live. Our goal is to alleviate their suffering, help them defeat deadly diseases, and give them faith in a happy and healthy life. Our foundation is called The Sun of Hope. The Sun symbolises peace, warmth, eternal life, solidarity and hospitality. We believe we can make our children's lives happier together with you. 

Dear friends, we congratulate you once again on the holiday of spring. May your lives experience the renewal that is the symbol of this holiday. We wish you happiness and joy in your homes. May the bright and cheerful spring holiday of Nooruzh, bring you happy hope and a great mood, sunny warmth and good changes. Happy holiday!
