“The primary mission of these competitions is to help children socialize and learn to interact with other children,” said Irina Shcherbakova, Director of the Chaika medical and social rehabilitation center that hosted the Olympiad. “I would like to thank the gas workers who help with arranging this event every year.”
“Special children need a special approach, which is why staging the Olympiad requires hard work from the Ministry, the rehabilitation center, the boarding school, the volunteers, and, of course, the parents,” said Sergey Burdinsky, Deputy Director of the Sakhalinskoye Pipeline Operation Center of Gazprom Transgaz Tomsk. “Every adult wants to see children healthy and happy.
