Changing the space – employee volunteering

27 września 2024

Friendly space

On 30 August 2024, we carried out a renovation project in fister care facility in Łuków. In cooperation with Colgate-Palmolive, we renovated the common areas and children’s rooms. More than a dozen volunteers took part in this project as part of the employee volunteering programme.

Renovation work continues to be an important part of The Foundation for Good Initiatives work for the benefit of children in foster care. They allow closer links to be forged with the organisation’s partners, but most importantly make a real contribution to improving the lives of young people in care. Everyday life seems better, and emotional and life issues are a little easier to deal with when a tidy, well-maintained space is conducive to this.

Paint, plaster and toothpaste

We were amazed by the commitment of the Colgate-Palmolive volunteers, who took on the physically demanding renovation work with enthusiasm that never wavered as the hours passed. Together we took care of the common areas and improved the appearance of the kitchenette and two bathrooms. We also took on the task of refreshing the children’s rooms. The two double rooms now have repainted wall coverings and smoothed wall structures. New small pieces of furniture were also added: blinds, bedside tables and desk chairs.

Good initiatives usually evolve into comprehensive support – and that is what will happen this time. With better housing, the Foundation’s beneficiaries will be able to continue to participate in the FDI’s education and development programmes. Most importantly, they will be able to enjoy the benefits of the renovation project on a daily basis.

Let’s work together

We invite all institutions and companies to cooperate to change the world of children from orphanages in Poland.
