EURASIA KIDS’ creative meetings continue! This time Alexey Talay was our guest.

At the age of 16, on May 8, 1999, he was blown up by a mine left in the ground after the war. He lost arms and legs. But! He became a Paralympian , the world record holder, businessman,  philanthropist,  motivational speaker,  husband and father.

Alexey talked about how not to give up, go against all odds to the dream, and about the biggest lessons in his life:

“My grandfather used to say: “Grandson, every three to five years of life you need to reach a new peak! - Alexey Talay says, - now my new peak is the Paralympic Games. The European and World Championships are behind us, and the Olympics are ahead. Just a participant, and the strength and inspiration are plentiful! And when I win the medal, I will come to visit you right away!
