Poland - the biggest charity action

 

Today 10.01.2010 -is big day in Poland -the 18th grand final of The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity started !!! its money collection early this morning !!!
This time the Orchestra plays for children with oncological diseases.
The Orchestra , which is the biggest non governmental, non profit charity organisation in Poland unites Poles around the world.

Young people who volunteer to take part in the money collection appear throughout Poland, Europe, the US, Asia, Australia, Afryka, even South Pole and North Pole! carrying the characteristic collection boxes with the Orchestra's emblem: a red heart.

 

Volunteers go out on the street and collect money in special cans which are labeled with a red heart and text: "Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy" (Polish for The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity). They also have identification cards, thanks to which anyone can report suspicious-looking people collecting money to the police without any such proof of authorization. Everyone who gives the volunteers any amount of money, gets a red heart sticker in return.



The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity is the biggest such action in this country and probably on the world! uniting thousands of people. Every year millions of Poles donate their money .Throughout seventeen Great Finales , the Foundation collected nearly $100 million for cardio-surgery, neonatology, pediatric oncology, kidney diseases, congenital defects, newborns and children under 5 years of age.
The medical equipment purchased by WOSP over all those years can be found in over 650 public hospitals all over Poland. On average, four medical devices are delivered every day to a given hospital.
