The team of Camping Azerbaijan already climbes for the fourth year to the remote areas of northern Azerbaijan, including Guba and Gusar mountain villages, in favor of their Santa Claus project. Beforehand, they collect gifts, toys and games for the children and hand them over dressed up in Santa Claus costumes. The last trip has been documented by Zaur Mirzayev, Elshan Baba and Eldar Akbarov. They captured the colorful, magical moments of joy, excitement and friendship embedded in front of the picturesque mountain landscapes. The event consists of a conversation with the operators of Camping Azerbaijan, informing about their social projects and a presentation of the photo documentation of this year’s “Santa Claus” Project.
