The Duval Foundation bought and gave the pictures for the Orphanage in Izdebno. The pictures decorated and enlivened the dining room. We have also given office furniture, which our Foundation received from Seco Tools.

December is a busy time for us. This year, in addition to the Orphanage, we decided to support the kids of the Environmental Educational Centre in Grójec. We prepared presents (toys, clothing, sweets and some other surprises) with the name on them.

Shopping is a great pleasure both for us and our kids. Milan was choosing the necessary school supplies for his peers with great engagement. Besides backpacks, pencil cases and exercise books with favourite characters, there was everything else that kids and youth needed for school. With Milan’s help, we succeeded in providing 30 kids of the „Children of Powiśle” with the school items.

We could not directly participate in the 39th Warsaw Marathon, so we decided to support the event financially. The Duval Foundation provided funding for the statutory activities of the 39th Warsaw Semi-Marathon „I run well”. The Warsaw Marathon together with the Rak’n’Roll Foundation helps the Foundation’s patients go through cancer.

The Children’s Day at the Children’s Hospital in Warsaw.

To celebrate the Children’s Day, the Duval Foundation gave the kids and youth from foster families a treat, which was a day at Hulakula organised by the Open Door Association. The kids came from the Płoński, Miński and Wołomiński counties. There was a lot of fun: training in the bowling centre for 30 people, the entrance to the playground for 30 people, animations with carers – blowing balloons, games and plays, prizes, painting faces, breaking pinatas. And all this was followed by gorgeous ice-cream with whipped cream shares by us. Bożenna Duval and Malena Kowalska watched the kids at Hulakula with great joy.

The Duval Foundation helped organise educational and tourist excursions to the seaside (to Rowy) for kids with intellectual disabilities placed under the care of the Maria Konopnicka Specialist Education and Rearing Centre No. 1 in Kutno. 30 children with light and moderate deficiencies, who reside at the Centre’s boarding school, joined the excursion. The Foundation paid for the stay and board of 10 kids. During those few days at the seaside, the kids could see the Czołpin dunas and the lighthouse, the Słowiński open air museum in Kluki, the fortifications of Ustka and take a walk through the Słowiński National Park and along the seashore.

The Duval Foundation supported charity fundraising for the treatment and rehabilitation and efforts to wake up Agatha. To visit the site, please click here:  https://pomagamy.im/agataturek

After some years, we decided to revisit the Paluch animal shelter. We brought animal food for dogs and cats, which replenished the shelter’s store. We also bought toys, balls etc. Linda Sztyller and her daughters also joined the ‘trip’.

The Duval Foundation gave PLN 1,000 for the statutory activities of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity.
