Resumo: Our Foundation prepares concerts, performances, competitions, festive garden-parties, conferences, meetings with famous people as well as summer and winter camps. These events are addressed to citizens of Bydgoszcz, however some of them are of regional or countrywide range. We are a catholic organization and are closely connected to the parish "God's mother the queen of Martyrs". We also have regional volunteers. Because of the huge enquiry of children, youth, disabled, ill, and unemployed people who come to us regularly we would like to invite international volunteers to join us in our work with those in need.

In January 2007 the foundation adopted the Workshop Therapy Place (WTP) for young disabled people. The aim of these workshops is to prepare the participants for a possible independent life; to support and develop new skills, to create attitudes which enable to them to live actively in our society. WTP offers activities like wood-working, art, housework training, tailoring, gardening, handicrafts etc. for disabled people. Every workshop lasts 6 months, the participants move to a different workshop. Participants visit the salt caves, museums, bowling centre, theatres and the cinema. They learn how to manage in daily life. They visit offices and restaurants.
There are 30 participants in the WTP "Windmill", all over 16 years old. Some of them have physical disabilities while others have mental disabilities. WTP employs 6 therapists (1 for every workshop) in addition to a rehabilitation therapist, nurse and administrators.

the host organization provide the Advice Centre. A psychologist, psychiatrist, lawyer and theologian are all there to help. There are meetings of support-groups, individual and group consultations, and workshops.

Social Integration club was founded in 2004. The main goal is counteraction of negative results of unemployment, helping people looking for a job and helping to get job experience.

The activities also include occasional events (concerts, performances, street fairs, competitions, festive garden-party, conferences, competitions, meetings with famous people, summer and winter camps for children and disabled people) - all attended by a few thousands of children and teenagers during the last year. These events are addressed to the citizens of Bydgoszcz, however some of them were of regional or countrywide range. The purpose of our work is to offer children and teenagers the opportunity to discover and develop their talents.

We started international co-operation in 2004 offering meetings, European Voluntary Service, workshops, trainings and youth exchanges.
We work with local volunteers as well. Once a week they meet with teachers.

We also co-operate closely with the students' association. Our volunteers meet with students and visit our city together. They go to the cinema, theatre and out to dinner.
