International advertising company Amillidius headed by Elvira Gavrilova launches the annual international project Charity Calendar

Charity Calendar is an annual charity calendar created at Elvira Gavrilova’s initiative, CEO of the international advertising company Amillidius, to help children from orphanages.

We talked with Elvira Gavrilova to find out the details of this project.

Elvira, tell us what is the purpose of your project?

E. G.: The goal of Charity Calendar is to attract as many people as possible to the problems of children from orphanages. All proceeds from the sale of Charity Calendar go towards fulfilling a childhood dream. This year is no exception. My team and I are planning to go to orphanages on St. Nicholas Day to please children with gifts and bring a little miracle to everyone’s life. We do not just bring humanitarian aid, we know in advance the desire of each child.

The theme of this year’s calendar is coronavirus. Why did you choose this particular topic?

E. G.: The topic of the pandemic is now on everyone’s lips. And, unfortunately, many people are suffering from the coronavirus and its consequences. As an opinion leader, it was very important for me to raise this topic and draw even more attention to it.

Who became a participant to this issue?

E. G.: Successful women and children from all over Ukraine became the participants of the calendar. Once a year, we all get together for a thematic photo shoot. This time, protective masks made of fresh flowers, created by a designer from Odessa, Julia Lyatavskaya, have become an integral accessory of our project.
