THE NURSERY PROJECT
SUPPORT THE CHILDREN
This project is very close to my heart. It started with me going back to my old village nursery of Zabar, in Nógrád county, East-Hungary. It's was very much in need of some upgrade, new toys, new shower, and complete new furniture set. We started dreaming, than magic happened. I found partners to invest, and it has become a beautiful example of the expat community of Hungary not just contributing to uplifiting the countryside childcare system, but getting actively involved in "making it happen" by volunteering to assemble the furniture and renovations.

Wesley János Nursery Budapest (Hungary)
People of Budapest couldn't just stand and watch fleeing children and mothers arriving on the trains from Ukraine. A civil aid point for kids was born, out of love. Furnished with kid's benches, carpets, coloring books and even little beds for the tired travelers. Mum's could pick up essential kids supply and baby food.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT !
Upgrading Kindergartens & Children's Homes in UKRAINE
We work with the nurseries to plan the necessary changes to the indoor play area, come up with a design plan, then a shopping list, from which supporters can choose what to buy. We help with the orders and purchase as well. Once all support are in place to complete one play area, we organize a volunteering day, where expats and locals work together to make this magic. Kid's come back late afternoon to take over their new space. It's a true community effort, where both locals, parents, nursery staff, local mayor's office work with the supporters and volunteers.
