Tehran, Feb 28, Swiss President Johann Schneider-Ammann said on Saturday that philanthropy is a culture in Iran.
The President made the remarks during his visit to Mahak Hospital and Rehabilitation Center in Tehran.
President Schneider-Ammann said that having observed Mahak, I realized that philanthropy in Iran is a culture.
Mahak Hospital and Rehabilitation Center is a Pediatric Cancer Research and Hospital Center run by Mahak charity.
He said capacity of Iranian society to flourish is what he had found out during visit to Mahak.
\’Within less than few minutes, I did notice the capacity to ship aid to children suffering from cancer. The sign of such a capacity is that a charity organization has made itself committed to look into the issue. This can be observed pretty well that a culture, favoring philanthropy, does dominate the country and this does not concern the financial domain only.
I did not suppose to observe such a capacity during my visit. Iran moves towards progress and I can say out of my experience that there is much chance for Iran\’s progress.
He appreciated services of Mahak board of directors and board of trustees as well as members of Tehran Chamber of Commerce.
The Swiss president said that Mahak is an amazing organization and is professional and extensive activities to support the children suffering from cancer. When I saw a child laughing despite his illness, trying to make us hopeful to accompany him in fighting the disease, I was so impressed. I am thankful to you for supportive services in light of innovation. Despite economic sanctions, Mahak has continued its activities and I hope that after the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and nuclear accords, Iran-Switzerland bilateral relations will expand in all domains.
Meanwhile, a plague of honor bearing painting by Mahak children was presented to the Swiss president.
