VISIT IN NURSING HOME

                In January we went to the Nursing Home in our town to show eldery people the nativity play prepared by our students. The group of volunteers put to the audience Polish Christmas Customs and Polish Carols, they compared past and present and showed the influence which old customs have on our present life. After our performance the habitants of Nursing Home- old, ill and, sometimes, lonely people, were really touched and happy that there are people who take care of their life, their loneliness and yearning. At the end we had lunch together. 

RAISING MONEY FOR THE NEEDY

According to the agreement we keep continuing our work in volunteering. In January the members of Comenius group took part in a very noble action, which was concentrated on helping children and elderly people in need. The topic of the action was to take care of ill people: (pediatrics, cardiac surgery, oncology). The way of doing it was very different: from music concerts, orchestra on the ice to the marathon against diabetes. Volunteers collected a big amount of money in order to help ill children and their grandparents. This kind of action is an example of international phenomenon : nobody is as good at doing it as Polish people are!

FIELDS OF HAPPINESS

In October 2014 volunteers from MZS nr5 in Krosno, including the members of Comenius group, participated in opening a wonderful action "Fields of Happiness" (the seventh edition). Our volunteers accompanied by Iwona Majko-Bogacz attended the Mass in Hospice, celebrated by pr. M. Zarzyczny. Their work during the last year has not only spiritual but also material value (about 100 000zl which were passed on old people needs). Our students are going to take part in the next Spring Collection. This kind of activity helps our pupils to understand of pluralism and awereness of coexistence, eliminate prejudice and reduce "generation gap". With this kind of effort they can help to feel old people happier and more useful. Congratulations to all our students on their commintment and dedication.

Selfies and sayings

As part of our project the students taught seniors what a selfie is and how to make one. In response the seniors told the students a proverb or saying. The students presented their work in class by showing the selfie and saying in a PowerPoint presentation.
