The visit by Russia’s Unity Foundation and cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov had a highly positive impact, according to Bolivia’s Potosi Governor Jhonny Mamani.
Russia’s Unity Foundation organized humanitarian events to support cancer patients in Bolivia, creating a positive impact on therapy for children at the Daniel Bracamonte Hospital.
“This visit by cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov has had a very positive impact.”
The Governor expressed hopes for future coordination with the Russian side and Unity Foundation for the benefit of those suffering from cancer.
The Russian humanitarian mission inspired children with cancer to dream of space exploration and brought joy even within hospital walls.
During the visit, oncology patients painted their dreams on metallic paper as part of the Dream Satellite art project, with plans for their artwork to go to the ISS next year.
Lectures on charity initiatives and space exploration were given, supported by the Russian Gorchakov Fund, Roscosmos, and other space companies.
