A few days' holiday for mothers and children in Ukraine

During their 10-day stay (27 June - 7 July) our guests visited the most interesting and beautiful places in the Podhale Mountains and the Malopolska region. They visited Krakow, among other places, where they visited the Royal Castle, the Cathedral on the Royal Wawel Hill and walked along the Royal Route. They also took a trip by narrow-gauge railway to the peat bogs of Czarny Dunajec, accompanied by a guide, who told them the ins and outs of this unique ecosystem. After the trip, they enjoyed a campfire with games led by a children's entertainer.

On two occasions, the Ukrainian group travelled to the Chocholow thermal pools. They also visited the Koscieliska Valley and the Ku Diurze Valley, as well as the town of Zakopane to see its landscapes and other features and sites in the area. During their stay, the Brothers organised an excursion to the Rabkoland amusement park where the group spent the whole day. In their free time the children enjoyed events with an entertainer and they had a summer ice sports hall to play in, very close to their accommodation.

The Mayor of the City and tTown Council of Czarny Dunajec highlighted his pleasure to have been able to work with the Order of St John of God, especially because this initaive had done so much good and brought so much joy to these people who had been suffering from this atrocious war.

We are duty bound to help, relieve and demonstrate our sympathy; and we know that hearts that are sensitive to the suffering of others make this world a better place, and such a world has absolutely no room for war.
