“If you think that happiness is in money, you are not rich enough.” — Roman Adler.
An evening of “Light Within” at the “House with a Lighthouse.” Here no one set out to prove that business and culture can speak the same language. Here people simply spoke — quietly, of what matters most. Of what remains when words run out.
The foundation’s trustees gathered at MJ Hall to support the young patients of the hospice. Terminally ill children teach us the essential thing: happiness is not in the number of days, but in their quality. The foundation’s mission — to give happy moments here and now — resonates deeply in the soul of everyone who has touched this world.
The auction of paintings created by artists together with the children in their care — this is not simply art. It is a dialogue without words, but with light. A creation in which child and artist speak the same language.
Partners, government representatives and leading media joined the evening: TASS, Forbes, RBC, Izvestia, Kommersant and others. Attention to palliative care is worth a great deal. It speaks of a society’s maturity.
A separate thank-you to the organisers. To hold even a modest event is not easy. Here there was true scale. The organisation, the decoration of the space, the catering, the venue itself — every detail was thought through. The theme proved alive and necessary. The central message, the idea itself — beyond praise.
The evening drew new, caring trustees. Most importantly, it showed that around the “House with a Lighthouse” a community of strong and luminous people is forming, for whom another’s pain is never another’s.
Light within is in everyone. It need not be sought, nor lit. It simply is. It is enough not to close it, not to hide it. To give.
