From 13 to 16 May the Tashkent House of Photography hosted the charity art exhibition “Little Hands — Big Hearts”, organised by Invento the Uzbek International School.
The project became far more than an art show. It turned into a space of sincerity, where children’s creativity speaks of what matters most — kindness and the wish to help.
Executive Director Alexey Semenov opened the exhibition with a welcome address.
He stressed that for Invento the Uzbek International School it is important not only to develop students academically, but to form personal values — responsibility, awareness and a readiness to help others. Such initiatives, he said, help raise a generation able to influence the world around them with intention.

The exhibition presented 435 works by students from Grades 1 to 12, each a reflection of a child’s inner world, feelings and unique view of the surroundings. The themes “How children express themselves” and “The world through students’ eyes” revealed children’s perception and showed how sincere art can be.
The exhibition was not only artistic, but socially meaningful. All funds raised will go to the Mehrli Qo’llar foundation to help children. Every work thus became not only an act of creativity, but support for those who need it.
The exhibition was curated by Elena Peshkova.

The project partner was Engelberg, which supported this initiative and shared its values of kindness, creativity and mutual aid.
The Charity Art Exhibition was a significant event for Invento the Uzbek International School and once again showed that education is not only knowledge, but the values that shape a person.
Over three days the exhibition raised 16.28 million soums, already transferred to Mehrli Qo’llar to help children.
Invento the Uzbek International School is an international school for students aged 6 to 18, teaching IB (International Baccalaureate) programmes. Academic development here sits alongside global thinking and important life values.
