Gazeta Wyborcza on Children's Day – charity actions

On 1 June 2017, Katowice and Bielsko Biała issue of Gazeta Wyborcza was sold with special linen colouring bags Niosę Dobro (Carrying Good). The linen bags (called tasza in Silesian dialect) could also be used to entertain children who can colour them. Money from the sale of Niosę Dobro bags was passed to Dom Aniołów Stróżów (Guardian Angels Shelter) – an organization that manages centres for disenfranchised children and youth in Katowice and Chorzów, more specifically for the help, education and care for the children and for the programme Akademia Rozwoju Talentów (Talents Academy). The cost of production of three thousand bags was covered by Chorzów City Office. Gazeta Wyborcza, Chorzów City Office and Dom Aniołów Stróżów Association were joint organizers of the project.

On 3 June 2017 the main section of Gazeta Wyborcza celebrated International Children’s Day for the 12th time by issuing a Toyota advertising insert to finance a donation for Fundacja z Pompą that supports the Child Haematology Ward of University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk, the patients and their families.

The Child Haematology Ward of University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk provides care to little patients from the entire Pomerania region. Besides helping the patients in their struggle against the illness, Fundacja z Pompą also offers psychological assistance for children with cancer and their families, co-finances physical therapy for the children and provides financial aid to families in difficult material circumstances.

Gazeta Wyborcza’s partner in the campaign was Toyota.
