It might sound strange - but we really enjoyed our visit to the hospital. It is a joy to see dedicated staff in action, a perfect cooperation between the local council and the hospital, which work together for the benefit of the patients.
It was especially impressive when we saw the humble beginnings of the clinic. They have come truly a long way and we are very proud to have been able to help because we have donated equipment worth almost 2. 000 000 PLN! We could see with our own eyes how the 111 pieces of sophisticated medical machinery have been put to good use in the neonatological ward, where even the smallest of babies receive vital help in the first moments of their lives.
We have met the wonderful medical personnel, dedicated doctors and nurses, who watch over the most fragile babies and the volunteers who yearly organise the fundraisers for the benefit of public medicine in Poland. This year the Collection Centres working in Ostrów Wielkopolski raised almost 196 thousand PLN!
Our initiative travels the world! We are "playing" on all continents, wherever there is a vibrant, energetic Polish community abroad. We are very proud of our friends who decide to play with our Orchestra in the most remote corners of the world.
There will be 120 000 volunteers fundraising in aid of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity across the world. Read more to find out more about the volunteer's ID card and Collection Box.
Wondering how much we raised since the first Grand Finale in 1993?
