Students support charity organisations too:
23-25 November 2001 and 15-17 March - food collections for Food Bank of Czestochowa took place in Billa (one of supermarkets in Czestochowa centre). Our friends had to stand for several hours and encourage people to leave some food stuff (e.g. sugar, rice, flour, pastas and sweets). They gave lots of leaflets with information about poverty and talked to large number of people. All undertakings were great successes. Last time we managed to collect about ten very big boxes (there had been washing machines in them before). This was repetition of last year actions.
A friend of mine who took part in it said it was great pleasure. She laughed whenever some old lady asked: "How much is that sugar?"
December 2001 - some students went to small baby orphanage with a visit. They gave away lots of presents. These were: clothes, toys and sweets. They were received very warmly by nuns. They were allowed to sign in visitors' book.

We willingly help charity organisations by fund-rising:
There was money collection for Fundacja Janiny Ochojskiej (Janina Ochojska Foundation) under the banner of: " Zlotowka dla dzieci z Afganistanu" ("One Zloty for Afghan Children"). We managed to collect 220 PLN.
"Gora Grosza" ("Penny Mountain") was famous nationwide campaign. Children were allowed to give only change. Than all the money was counted and weighed.
November, December and January. Collecting money for "Wielka Orkiestra Swiatecznej Pomocy" ("Great Orchestra of Christmas Help") lasted three months. It is the most famous and the most popular charity. It mixes great fun with noble intentions and unites every kind of people.
