We now know the winners of the sixth edition of CPR for Schools Competition! After an exciting and gruelling contest, which took the participants across some of the most famous landmarks in our capital, we can now reveal which team can proudly say that they are the best little rescuers in the country!
The game was laid out like a treasure hunt, taking the teams to different places, such as the National Museum or the Palace of Culture and Science. In each location, the young contestants had to solve a puzzle or perform a task related to the knowledge they have gained at the CPR for Schools lessons they took part in back home. Each task has been evaluated by certified instructors, who checked for accuracy and speed. It was great seeing how well-trained and skilled the kids have become and how much enjoyment the game brought everyone!
It took everyone 6 hours to complete the game, and after a quick snack, we were able to reveal the winners!
The competition is one of the elements of the CPR for Schools Programme run by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, which aims to introduce first aid training to primary schools nationwide. As a result of this ongoing initiative, we can now estimate that over 2.6 million children have been trained in the basics of CPR and first aid.
The fight against sepsis was the main aim of the 31st Grand Finale fundraiser which ended with over PLN 243 million raised. In less than a year, we have organized two Open Tenders to purchase medical equipment for microbiological laboratories across the country.
As you already know, we play with everyone and for everyone. What is more, in Warsaw we play in a totally new location! For the first time ever the heart of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will be beating at the PGE Narodowy meadows.
Five days before the 32nd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, we visited the 'Pomnik - Centrum Zdrowia Dziecka' (Children's Memorial Health Institute) to ceremoniously inaugurate the first Ophthalmic Simulation Laboratory in Europe dedicated exclusively to the field of peadiatric ophthalmology.
