Peace Patrol volunteers often say that taking part in the training course at Szadowo-Młyn has changed their lives and marks the beginning of a great adventure among a huge group of new friends, united by a common goal. Those are the people who take matters into their own hands, who enjoy being active and working for the common good. Peace Patrol volunteers engage in activities outside of events organized by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation, such as the Grand Finale charitable fundraising drive, Pol'and'Rock Festival, CPR for Schools initiative and many other projects.
Three-day training, which takes place in Szadowo-Młyn, a village located in the vicinity of Kwidzyn and Malbork. The trainees will learn first aid and CPR from qualified AHA instructors and will take part in survival tasks and activities which will ensure that they are ready to work as a team in difficult circumstances and in a difficult environment. The trainees will also be instructed on the laws and regulations concerning mass events and festivals in Poland.
The registration of Collection Centres, i.e. hubs of volunteers organizing the Grand Finale events for their local community, is now over. Collection Centres will be actively participating in the 32nd Grand Finale fundraiser across Poland and in 101 locations around the world!
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.
Warsaw, Poland, the world! The enthusiasm which exploded in our country in 1993 has reached the most distant corners of the world in a flash. Already during the very first Grand Finale, we were present across the ocean!
