From May 13 to 16, the Tashkent House of Photography hosted the Charity Art Exhibition "Little Hands, Big Hearts", organized by Invento The Uzbek International School.
The exhibition became much more than an art event. It created a space where children's creativity spoke about what matters most—kindness, compassion, and the willingness to help others.
The exhibition was officially opened by Alexey Semenov, Executive Director of Invento The Uzbek International School.
In his welcoming speech, he emphasized that, alongside academic excellence, the school is equally committed to developing students' personal values, including responsibility, empathy, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference. According to him, initiatives like this help raise a new generation of young people who are prepared to make a meaningful impact on the world around them.
The exhibition featured 435 artworks created by students from Grades 1 to 12. Each piece reflected a child's inner world, emotions, and unique perspective. Through the themes "How Children Express Themselves" and "The World Through Students' Eyes," visitors had the opportunity to experience children's sincere creativity and discover how authentic and powerful art can be.
More importantly, the exhibition was not only an artistic event but also a meaningful charitable initiative. All proceeds raised during the exhibition were donated to the Mehrli Qo'llar Foundation to support children in need. In this way, every artwork became more than an expression of creativity—it became an act of kindness and support for those who need it most.
The exhibition was curated by Elena Peshkova, who highlighted that charity begins with something simple—the willingness to care and to notice those who need help. She noted that projects like this help foster a culture of compassion, generosity, and social responsibility within the community.
The exhibition brought together students, parents, teachers, and visitors around one shared purpose: using creativity to make a positive difference. For many students, it was their first opportunity to participate in a project where their artwork carried not only artistic value but also genuine social impact.
The project was supported by Engelberg, whose partnership reflected a shared commitment to promoting kindness, creativity, and mutual support.
The Charity Art Exhibition became a meaningful milestone for Invento The Uzbek International School, once again demonstrating that education is about much more than academic achievement—it is also about nurturing the values that shape responsible, compassionate individuals.
Over the course of the three-day exhibition, 16.28 million UZS was raised. The full amount has already been donated to the Mehrli Qo'llar Foundation to support children in need.
Invento The Uzbek International School is an international school for students aged 6 to 18, offering education through the International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes. Here, academic excellence goes hand in hand with the development of global-mindedness, strong character, and the values that prepare students to become responsible citizens of the world.
