Each person, coming into this world, receives his inherent, unique talent as a gift from life. The matter is whether these gentle sprouts of their talents will get into fertile field. And all this depends on us, parents, instructors and all kind of people, whose heart is capable to respond the call of children. We shall not forget that there are children especially requiring our responsiveness, those who have to overcome heavy illnesses since their birth. " The limited opportunities " - are difficult to imagine for the healthy person, how much mental anguish and physical pain stands for this correct definition. To overcome this pain, courage and will power to which the glorified champions can even envy are necessary. But to make the courage of these children yield fruits, the help of adults is essential for them. Research Center of Disabled Children "Sanvikt" is created with the aim to make children with the limited opportunities to believe in themselves, become high-grade, independent people with strong personality. And we also want to present all of you that light that shines in their pure souls.
"Hasten to create kindness "the employees of "Sanvikt" call and follow this motto first of all. The center was founded in 1999 by Gulsara Radjapova - well known artist member of the Academy of arts of Uzbekistan to help disabled children. The woman with obstinate character - that's how G. Radjapova can be called. She does not search for easy ways in life. In art she has chosen by no means nonfeminine destiny, having preferred to a gentle watercolor and refined graphics heavy work with metal and stone. And, having achieved the popularity instead of reaping its fruits, she has left all habitual occupations for the sake of restless social mission to help children with limited opportunities. The niece of the famous Uzbek artist, academician Kasym Mirzarahimov who has proven that it is possible to create masterpieces, even being chained to bed. Gulsara Radjapova knows better than many others, what inexhaustible spiritual forces are hidden in those whom we name disabled.
To inform the world of intellectual and spiritual wealth of children with limited opportunities, to help them to join variety, beauty and bright colors in life, became her treasured purpose and main dream. A dream with the name "Sanvikt".
The way of creation of the center was uneasy, but she has managed to overcome all the difficulties, and the center operates nowadays, involving new and new talents. Here, everyone is welcomed, but special attention is given to children - orphans, pupils of houses of mercy and the specialized boarding schools. However, doors of the center are open for everyone. And for healthy children too, as without co-education it's not possible to solve the problem of adaptation of disabled children to daily life. For "problemless" children this is precious opportunity to learn compassion, to overcome the deep-rooted prejudices and to look at the world more widely.,
Children from five till seventeen come to "Sanvikt". It can seem surprising, but between them there are no age barriers, they are rarely friendly, sociable and open. They study together, celebrate holidays and birthdays, worry for those to whom the honor to represent the center at republican and international exhibitions has dropped out. You might not believe, but here is no concept of children's jealousy: in "Sanvikt", certainly, one for all and all for one. How it is possible? Owing to teachers, people not only talented, but also completely non self-interested. All activities of "Sanvikt" are built on social principles so everyone who is engaged in work with children, appreciate spiritual wealth much more above momentary benefit. And this noble spirit is sensitively caught by pupils of "Sanvikt".
The pleasant fact: Known artists having huge creative experience and glory not only within the limits of Uzbekistan but also abroad respond the offers of Gulsara Radjapova to help disabled children with their creative development. To name Akmal Nur is enough. Tenderness is also peculiar to young generation: students of Institute of Arts teach in "Sanvikt". And, as Gulsara Radjapova admits, "the center simply would not exist, if not Avazkhon", her husband Avazkhon Radjapov, by whose golden hands both an interior, and appearance of a building of the center were developed for the second time. Self-denying work of adults gratefully responds bright, uncommon talent of children. Number of prestigious exhibitions in which pupils of "Sanvikt" participate, raises already to second ten. It is possible to consider as a huge achievement of the center that its pupils can enter the prestigious educational institutions of the republic. Rustam Babadjanov - sixteen years old boy who became the first of them, he entered Art College named after Bekhzod. The boy has shown uncommon courage, having overcome the difficulties connected to infringement of work of the musculoskeletal system. " It is pleasant to draw people and animals", Rustam tells about his tastes. "To transmit character, to catch movement - it's interesting for me. " Treasured dream of Rustam is to learn art of computer animation. Another inmate of "Sanvikt" Maftuna Rakhmatova has entered the Lyceum of fine arts.
Each child who comes here is really the whole world expressed in colours.
