Dear readers,
The days are getting shorter and we are
awaiting the arrival of a not so pleasant
season of the year. However, autumn also
brings brightly coloured leaves, conkers
and the scent of fallen apples... Autumn
walks are the most romantic ones. Make
sure you don’t miss them!
The autumn season is a season of
many changes in BB Centrum – the
most important one is the opening of the
shopping mall in the FILADELFIE building.
The services you will find here have been
selected based on the Satisfaction survey
conducted among the BB Centrum
tenants. We are confident that you will
find the new services delightful. A new
apartment complex – the Baarova
Residential Complex – will be finished
in about a year, offering opportunities for
modern living in this attractive locality.
If you are considering buying a new
home, go to page 18.
September is also a very important
month for all pupils and their parents.
The Elijáš Christian Basic School and
Kindergarten was launched in the new
school year. The school is characteristic
for its emphasis on individual education.
At the sports facility built behind the
school building there is a children’s
playground as well as a multipurpose
sports ground, which will also be available
to adult sports enthusiasts.
I wish all our readers a beautiful
autumn full of bright days,
Hana Gottwaldová,
General Editor

Schoolchildren “Can Understand
Money” thanks to a Unique Project
The project “We Can Understand Money”
aims to increase the level of financial
education, along with helping schoolchildren
get real grasp of the costs of
living. It will give them information about
the principles of housekeeping. To teach
them careful budgeting, the project is
designed to use real life situations (the
costs of housing, transport, holidays and
so on). Also, the essentials of sensible
decision making are an important part of
financial education.
“We wanted to compare the knowledge
of budgeting money as demonstrated
by basic school pupils who had

participate in the future. This is why we
administered a test to 1,146 pupils at the
end of the last school year,” says Martin
Ježek, Director of the project known as
“We Can Understand Money”, AISIS Civic
Association. “Eight in ten pupils who
had participated in the project answered
most of the theoretical questions well.
More importantly, they demonstrated a
better grasp of what they should do in
various financial situations, making better
guesses about the real costs of living of
the family,” adds Markéta Dvořáčková,
Press Officer, GE Money Bank.

The survey demonstrates that the pupils
of a higher level of education in basic
schools have a good grasp of investment
and banking products. According to 92%
of pupils, it is better to borrow money for
buying an apartment than a holiday trip.
The vast majority of children are aware
of the fact that the first thing to do after
losing a card is to block it at the bank, and
even then they can get another one. It is
especially important to be aware of this
fact because the survey shows that one
in five pupils of higher education levels
manages his/her own money and 79% of
the children interviewed use a payment
card. In addition to the positive outcomes,
the survey also indicates some drawbacks
in financial education. By way of illustration,
ATMs are often perceived by some
pupils as an “automatic distributing point
of cash”, regardless of whether or not they
have any money in the bank.
The project “We Can Understand Money”
is being carried out at the basic schools
in the regions of Central Bohemia, Plzeň,
Liberec, Pardubice and Vysočina. The pilot
phase was launched in 2006, and over
2,000 pupils, together with almost 1,000
teachers, have participated since then. The
core of the project, the book named “We
Can Understand Money”, is a unique tool
and methodical material. This book was
created thanks to the financial and professional
support of GE Money Bank, which
initiated the project “We Can Understand
Money” in 2006, and has been funding it
ever since, together with the European Social
Fund and the National Budget of the CR.

Microsoft has released for downloading
the connector of the Outlook application

Division, Microsoft. “The connection of
Facebook with the Microsoft Outlook application
is a significant milestone in the
world of social networks because their
cooperation means the integration of the
most widespread e-mail client with the
most utilised social network,” he adds.
Principally, the connector links people,
who exchange messages with you
through the Outlook application, and their
profiles on social networks. Thanks to
this, the users can check their e-mails,

along with watching the activities of their
friends and acquaintances, including their
photographs. Aside from extending their
social network, they have – with a single
click on their contact’s name – the opportunity
to display a brief list of the given
person’s activities on the social network,
his/her recent e-mail conversations as
well as mutual meetings and attachments
received from the person.
The connector is available to users of
Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007, and
users of the latest version of Microsoft
Outlook 2010 will be provided with the
connector through a Microsoft Update.
PUMA is following the current trend towards minimising the
ecological burden and, accordingly, they have launched new
packaging for their products that is environment-friendly and
whose design is a treat.
Moreover, PUMA has introduced innovations in their packaging
and distribution system to reduce the volume of paper used
for the manufacturing of shoe boxes and their carbon emissions
by 65% and 10 tonnes respectively. PUMA went into partnership
with Yves Béhar, a designer from the San-Francisco-based
Fuseproject. He was commissioned to devise a new concept of
packaging for the millions of pairs of shoes sold annually. Less
packaging requires fewer raw materials, along with lower
water consumption and energy necessary for its manufacture,
lower weight and less waste. Béhar designed a “Clever Little
Bag” for multiple uses to replace cardboard covers. This new
little bag protects shoes from damage from the moment they
leave a production facility till the customer takes them home.
The little bag will be launched on the Czech market this autumn.

How FILADELFIE
Was Created
Newly completed, the 17-storey FILADELFIE building will be a newly
dominating feature of BB Centrum. The construction of this new shopping and
office development was commenced in May 2008, and now, after two years of
construction and ten years of preparation, the building has been completed.
As a result, the range of this building complex, comprised of office space as
well as shops and services, has been significantly extended.

FIlAdelFIe
Tapping the foundation stone 2. 10. 2008
The FILADELFIE building is named after a
biblical city closely associated with such
values as faithfulness and diligence. The
city of Filadelfie was built in Asia Minor,
presently in Turkey, between 159 and
138 BC. Earthquakes were a common
occurrence in the area and the city was
almost razed to the ground in 17 AD. Roman
Emperor Tiberius had the city reconstructed
in a highly impressive way and
the city was often called “Little Athens”.
The word Filadelfie comes from Greek
and means “brotherly love”. This has now
become the inspiration for the name of
this building in the heart of Europe.
The FILADELFIE building is a new addition
to the sophisticated group of buildings
which form the harmonious concept of the
entire BB Centrum complex. Moreover, a
large park, whose green areas provide a
pleasant relaxation zone, has also opened
this year. Another place to relax, a terrace

an Albert supermarket, a dm chemist’s,
a dry-cleaner’s and laundry offer their
services. Underground parking facilities
will serve the tenants of the FILADELFIE
building as well as the wider public.
The PSJ Company was the general contractor,
the DaM studio was behind the

The new Baar Park, which opened near the FILADELFIE building this July, is not only a
green area within the BB Centrum complex, it is also a place where you can get
some rest and relaxation, along with having fun. Meticulous attention has been paid
to the overall design as well as the last detail, including the modern design of its
untraditional attractions. As a result, an oasis of calm, fragrances, colours and

Baarova Residential Park
A New Housing Development Is
Created Before Your Very Eyes…
RPB
RPB
Another new project
by the developer
PASSERINVEST GROUP
got underway this
summer in the vicinity
of BB Centrum. Known
as Baarova Residential
Park, it is a housing
development designed
to provide new, modern
and stylish residences in
the Prague 4 district.

The construction of the Baarova Residential
Park was commenced on 19 July and
it will last almost 18 months. On completion,
in November 2011, it will offer 139
modern apartments with two to six rooms
and a kitchenette covering from 50 to 170
square metres. The prospective owners
of the apartments have an opportunity to
watch how much progress the builders
have made at www.baarova.cz.
In balance and harmony
The residential complex is being circumscribed
by Baar Street, the large Baar
Park and U Michelské školy and Telčská
streets. This new housing development
clearly illustrates that its designer, CMS
Architects, is a guarantee of quality architecture.
Incidentally, the complex, which
is being developed before your very eyes
now, is a striking example of an intimate
housing scheme, providing comfort and
convenience for all who find a new home
there. Accordingly, the motto of the
project is Style, Comfort, Safety.
Down to the last detail…
PASSERINVEST GROUP is widely regarded
as a developer that pays meticulous
attention to detail. This is also true
of the Baarova Residential Park, where a
five-year guarantee, the developer’s client
orientation and the site whose development
has been completed, all contribute
further value of the project. In addition,
the site boasts extremely easy access,
large green areas and excellent service
facilities – an indispensable part of modern
residential projects. The Baarova Residential
Park is conventionally and strategi-
RPB
cally located near the city centre and, at
the same time, in peace and quiet, amidst
greenery.
In close proximity to the Baarova
Residential Park, in the new FILADELFIE
building, a shopping arcade with an Albert
supermarket and a dm chemist’s opened
this October in addition to a wide range of
other shops and services.

Multipurpose sports ground
Basically, the multipurpose sports ground
serves a variety of sports on a single pitch
or court where you can play, for instance,
football, floorball, basketball, handball,
volleyball and tennis. The playing area is
44 x 24 metres in size and is fully lit for
night sessions.
Children’s sports ground
This sports ground has been designed to
fill all little sportspeople with enthusiasm.
There is a children’s rock climbing wall, a
climbing pole, a rope course and children’s
trapezes. Young lovers of basketball
who have not yet grown to regulation
height have a mini-basketball court at their
disposal, including hoops with adjustable
height. Naturally, there is a place for
adults accompanying young sportspeople
– benches where they can relax under
shady trees and enjoy themselves while
watching their children play.

Elijáš Basic School and Nursery School
BB Centrum continues to grow and develop, offering not only new office
buildings, but also shops and services, restaurants, green areas and leisure
time attractions. Similarly, changes have occurred at the school located
in Michle, between the Church of the Birth of the Virgin Mary and the
FILADELFIE building. There the Dino Elementary School was replaced by the
Elijáš Christian Basic School, where teaching began on 6 September.
Founded by the Seventh-day Adventist
Church, the Elijáš Christian Basic School
and Nursery is this church’s first basic
school in this country, although they run
over 7,000 various schools with over
one million students the world over. This
school does not have any administrative
catchment area.
The history of the Christian school
and nursery school
This Christian Basic School and Nursery
School opened in the former building
of another basic school in Prague – 4
Kunratice, on 1 September 2008. At this
time, the first and second forms began
and one higher form opened each following
year, which means that fourth formers
are now our oldest pupils. Although Elijáš
is presently an incomplete basic school
as there are just the “first level forms” (i.e.
the first to fifth form), it is envisaged that
a complete school with a capacity of 180
pupils will provide teaching here.
Focus of the school
The Elijáš School focuses on Christian
values, a healthy lifestyle and English. Its
ambition is to be included in the “Healthy
Schools” programme, which adheres to
the principles of creating a healthy environment
at school, an education towards
a healthy lifestyle and behaviour fostering
good health.
There are three linchpins of the “Healthy
School” programme: the cosiness of the
environment, healthy learning and open
partnership. The principles which have
been adopted are as follows: meaningfulness,
possibility of choice, appropriateness,
cooperation and participation. Stimulating
methods, based on the principles
of individual personal growth are used.
The school is perceived as a democratic
community in an open-hearted public.
Christian education as a subject
During their entire attendance, the basic
school pupils take the subject of Christian
education to learn Bible prophesy, Christian
principles and values. The elements
of Christianity are also incorporated into
the other subjects in a suitable form. The
pupils are strongly encouraged to develop
a personal rapport with Jesus Christ as
well as to read the children’s Bible and
other Christian literature. Every morning,
the children participate in a joint morning
meditation complete with a prayer towards
learning Christian principles and values.
Individual education
Individual education is an official alternative
to the normal school attendance up to
the first to fifth grade in the Czech Republic.
About 30 pupils have enrolled in the
programme of individual education in the
Elijáš Basic School. This method of teaching
is suitable for children who are geared
towards an individualised approach and
whose parents are able and ready to take
responsibility for their education. There
may be a great many reasons for “home
maranatha novinky maranatha
teaching” such as a handicap, a learning
or personal difficulty, frequently moving
house and so on.
Healthy lifestyle
The physical aspects of a healthy lifestyle
encompass a range of physical exercises,
along with the principles of healthy living.
Generally, physical education and playgroups
focusing on sports are a natural
part of basic school curricula. The Elijáš
Basic School offers some extras, with a
lacto-ovo vegetarian diet, i.e. plant products,
eggs, milk and milk products. This
is an extremely high quality diet, prepared
in accordance to principles of nutrition as
stipulated by the government authorities for
catering for pre-school and school children.
English language
Good knowledge of at least one world language,
with a particular emphasis on English,
is an important part of education in
the Elijáš Basic School. This is why English
teaching is extended and even first form
children are taught English, with the help of
modern tools and teaching methods.
Nursery school
Every child is received by Christians as
a gift from God, and as having a unique
personality. The teaching staff of the Elijáš
Nursery School, located in the building of
the Community Centre in Prague 4, aim to
develop those key competencies that are
necessary for a child in the contemporary
world. In addition to forming Christian
character, it is essential to prepare children
for a Christian life in the post-modern
world and, first and foremost, for eternal
life according to the Bible. What counts
are harmonious relationships between
parents, children and teachers – children
22 23
are led to achieve a sense of individuality,
healthy self-confidence and responsibility
for themselves.
Also, an emphasis is placed on thoughtfulness
and tolerance towards other
children, including those with physical
and mental handicaps as well as different
cultural and spiritual values.
The nursery school also teaches English.
Why do parents choose Elijáš?
It is not a surprise to see that active Christians
opt to send their children to a Christian
school. Contrary to expectations, the
Elijáš school has been chosen by a great
number of people who regard themselves
as unbelievers. The reason behind their
decision is the friendly environment and
the opportunity to direct their children
toward the Christian values that are somehow
vanishing from our society.
Rules and financing
The nursery school is available for children
from three years of age, while the basic
school is for pupils of the first to fourth
form in the school year of 2010/2011.
The basic school tuition fees are CZK
12,000 a year, which, being an endowed
sum, will increase in the future. Staying at
the after-school club is free. You will pay
CZK 24,000 for the nursery school a year
in 2010/2011, with an increase to CZK
31,200 which is planned for the school
year.

Hana Kotulánová: PUMA
Changed My Attitude toward
Brands
The PUMA brand has been setting trends in
leisure-time fashion for younger and older
clientele alike in recent years. In this country
especially, it is one of the most popular brands
due to its quality, tradition and chic design. Every
new collection with the wild beast in the emblem
is eagerly awaited in every shop.
PUMA AG Rudolf Dassler Sport is a
German-based international company that
has been manufacturing quality fashion
and sports apparel since 1948. PUMA is
famous for its support and sponsorship of
football teams and sportspeople – it has
taken under its wings the likes of Pelé, Diego
Maradona and Usain. PUMA is also a
sponsor of the Czech national football team.
In the following interview, Hana Kotulánová,
Deputy General Manager/Head of
Finance of the Czech branch of PUMA AG,
talks about her career as well as the brand
itself, its metamorphoses, along with some
hot tips.
At which university did you study and
are you currently engaged in your field
of study?
I graduated from the University of Agriculture
majoring in Economics of Agriculture,
so I have deviated from my field of study
only partially. Agriculture was not very
popular when I graduated and, instead,
business and banking were growing. Logically,
my steps led there.
Could you tell us something about
your track record?
Basically, I have gone through all the
levels of corporate finance and accountancy
and I was even responsible for
logistics and implementation of economic
software for a while. I started my career
as an accountant with Interczech, an
importer of shingles and garage doors.
Then I joined Melzer to become an
implementer of economic software. I was
young and not very experienced among
the old salt accountants of customers –
it was not easy! Also, my job as a senior
accountant in California, USA, was a
school of life. Working for a company
selling protective tools for farmers, I was
struggling with English as I had been a
hardworking German student at school.
And before my current job, I was at an
international clinic where, in the post of
financial supervisor, I became a member
of senior and upper management.
PUMA, my dream job, followed in 2001.
Mirek Ryba and I were the first employees
of its Czech branch.
Which of those professions do you
remember fondly and why?
It is hard to have my pick of them, each
position has helped move me somewhere
and I enjoyed each of them. Once
I stopped liking them, I had to move on
somewhere else.
Do you think that this road has indirectly
taken you to the PUMA brand?
Partially. It is definitely true, but my partner
largely contributed to my decision at the
time. It started to be a classic professional
bore at my previous work, in the international
clinic in Prague. PUMA was looking
for a chief accountant then. Although I was
overqualified for that position, I decided to
hear the offer. After several interviews with
the Austrian management, we decided
that I would take the position of internal
auditor of the group. It was a great
challenge, with lots of business trips to
Hungary, Russia, South Africa and Brazil.
At the same time, I satisfied my hunger for
travelling.
How did you use to perceive this
brand earlier, compared with these
days?
As I am a thrifty person by nature, brands
did not cast a spell on me. However,
PUMA changed that and I fundamentally
appreciate the quality and prestige of
PUMA and other brands now.
PUMA has been one of the most
popular brands, especially among
young people, in recent years. It is
interview novinky interview
even more popular than Adidas. What
do you think is behind this fact? Have
there been any changes in brand communication
or strategy?
Definitely yes. Our aim for the 1990s
remains the same even for today: to be
the most sought-after sport and lifestyle
brand on the market. We have adapted
most of our marketing activities to this aim
and, as a result, we cooperate with Ferrari,
Red Bull, Tereza Maxová, Aňa Gaislerová,
Tomáš Rosický and Tomáš Dvořák.
Our products have been designed and
developed in cooperation with Alexander
McQueen and other personalities. Experts
on our brand will certainly remember the
famous Mostro and Speedcat shoes.
However, we would like to be regarded
not only as a “cool” brand, but also as an
organisation that cares about the environment
and renewable resources.
How are you planning to present the
brand? Does the Czech brand have a
chance to implement its own ideas,
or does it have to unconditionally assume
the corporate identity?
We are going to launch new packing of our
products on the Czech and Slovak markets.
In my opinion, it is not only fun, but
also environmentally friendly in accordance
with our philosophy. Since 1 August, the
post of General Manager has been held
by Paul Gautier, who is a marketing guru
with a wealth of experience from PUMA in
Europe and America alike.
Let’s get back to the question: to what
extent do you take the Czech mentality
into consideration in Bohemia; does
the Czech brand presentation differ
from that in other countries?
As we are given relatively free reign to do
our marketing activities, there is certainly
something to look forward to. I recommend
that you pay special attention to
our shop in Palladium, which is our retail
flagship. It will be full of life, because life is
not only work but also fun and parties with
friends. You do not have to be in the Olympic
Games; you can win a game of skittles
and have a lot of fun. The whole year 2011
will be conceived in this manner.
How much time do you spend at work
and what does your work mean to you?
As much time as necessary. I am not keen
on working overtime and at weekends,
which applies to me and my team alike.
My work is important to me and has
helped me overcome many hard times.
Do you have time for your private life
and activities?
Recently yes, but it could always be better.
What do you do in your free time?
What are your interests and hobbies?
I enjoy dancing, jogging and hiking.
I am a member of the Balance Club
Brumlovka, where I attend zumba
classes and sometimes simply jog, walk;
in short, I can’t sit still.
Your company is based at BB
Centrum. Are you satisfied with this
office park? Does it meet your
criteria for a “good address”?
I personally regard BB Centrum as
one of the best office centres. It was
obviously built with a vision behind it and
with consideration. I am obliged to Mirek
Ryba, our former General Manager, who
is working in the Russian Federation now,
24 25
Hana Kotulánová, Deputy General Manager/Head of Finance, PUMA AG
for choosing this site. As for the second
question, we still regard it as a “good
address”; otherwise we would have to
move.
If you could make a wish, what would
you like?
Health. I know how it feels if you are
lacking in it. Now, I would like to give
advice to those that have finished reading
this interview: Do not underestimate
preventative examinations! Or your
partners either – they will be a tower of
strength to you.
Thank you for your interview.

Sandwiches and soups
in FILADELFIE
In the Czech Republic, the fast casual restaurant chain Express Sandwich
promises the best of the sandwich tradition supplemented by the principles of
modern and healthy eating. Their fifth restaurant has recently been opened in
the shopping mall of the FILADELFIE building. We decided to check up on
the advertised quality.
New shops are still settling into the mall,
where we were welcomed by a simply yet
very efficiently furnished space, dominated
by a big serving counter and two large
screens displaying the current offer. The
interior in shades of green evokes cleanliness
and natural origins. The restaurant
serves over a counter, customers can
choose from the menu and the staff
members prepare the food from ingredients
displayed in the serving counter, right
in front of the customers’ eyes. The food
is then wrapped and placed on a tray.
The customers can take their trays to bar
tables or they can sit in armchairs at small
tables in the middle of the room.
This is not a traditional restaurant,
where customers would spend long hours
eating their lunch. The word Express in
its name is clear. It serves fast but quality
food at any time of the day. That’s why
large numbers of customers can be
served in a relatively small space, there
are no long queues and you shouldn’t
struggle to find a seat.
You won’t be leaving hungry
Soup is the foundation – that’s what our
grandmothers used to say. Not many
Czech people would be satisfied with
nothing but sandwiches on the menu. Of
course it’s a must to get something warm
into the tummy. That’s why you can find
several homemade soups on the menu.
They are prepared from fresh ingredients
by the chef Martin Poláček. When you
combine the soup with a salad, you can
get a quick, healthy and calorie balanced
lunch.
All the ingredients loaded into your
baguettes, ciabattas or wraps are also
fresh. We have chosen the word loaded
on purpose because the baguettes
baked according to a special recipe are
cut in a certain way that creates, because
of the dough quality, a cavity in the shape
of a little boat. And almost half a kilo of
filling can go into this cavity – a portion
that will surely fill up even a proficient and
very hungry eater. The choice of white or
brown bread is a matter of course.
Apart from sandwiches you can
choose one of the salads on offer and if
you wish to finish with a sweet treat we
suggest you try one of the homemade
desserts.
tested for you… novinky tested for you…
Something for everyone
The truly great advantage of the
Express Sandwich restaurant is that
the menu can satisfy both those who
prefer solely vegetarian food and the
determined meat eaters. As the food
is prepared right in front of your eyes,
you can select which ingredients you
want in your sandwich or your salad
and which you don’t. The staff won’t be
surprised even if you ask for gluten-free
food, and at least one soup from the
restaurant’s menu is adapted to this
diet.
The opening hours are also very convenient.
You can pop in for breakfast at
8 in the morning on weekdays, stop for
a light and healthy lunch at lunchtime
or grab a sandwich on your way home
from work and save yourself having to
worry about supper.
The staff will be happy to prepare
your food to take away in a box or a
paper bag. And if, lets say, you were to
organize a longer meeting and needed
to provide refreshments, you could
easily order a special menu and have it
delivered directly to your workplace.

Question for...
Where did the idea to start a business
in fast food come from?
During my last year at university, I was
considering what to do after graduation.
I was always attracted to business. During
my visit to the United States, where I
could see a large number of various kinds
of fast food businesses, my friend and I,
my schoolmate and an associate, started
thinking about running a Quick Service
Restaurant. And then, my associate said
the word: ‘sandwiches’. We wanted to
make the best sandwiches in town. And
the idea was born!
This year, we are entering our tenth year
of existence, we sell quarter of a kilometre
of sandwiches daily and several hundred
thousands of customers have tried our
products.
Express Sandwich is not fast food
but fast casual. What does this mean
for your guests?
Fast foods around the world are changing
and their philosophy is coming closer
26 27
Ondřej Blažek
Co-owner and co-founder
of the company Express Sandwich
to restaurants. Fast casual is somewhere
in the middle on the imaginary line. The
customer can choose his meal and all
ingredients, but above all everything he
gets is high quality, fast and served in a
pleasant environment. That is how we
meet the most important attributes of the
fast casual restaurant. Thanks to visible
preparation, the customer can select
the ingredients in his sandwich or salad,
but primarily he can visually check what
he actually gets. Unlike in traditional fast
foods, the customer can eat his meal with
classic cutlery from a glass plate. Beverages
are also served in glass or ceramic.
Fast casual flexibly responds to changes
of the menu, has daily special offers and
above all has stylishly designed restaurants.
Supply of quality ingredients is fundamental
for restaurants. How do you
select your suppliers?
We try to choose suppliers who understand
our concept based on fresh food
and speed. We show all our new suppliers
round the facility, we show them how we
use the individual ingredients and how
the final products are made. It is then
easier for them to meet our demand and
requirements. For example, we like to use
seasonal vegetables to prepare our homemade
soups every day.

Our trip to Ukraine
Have you ever wondered what happens to the clothes you have given to charity?
Various organisations use various ways and if you search for information
through several chat rooms and blogs you can find out much to your disappointment
that the donated clothes are sometimes sold in second-hand shops
or turned into cloths for washing cars. Nevertheless you took so much care
choosing only the nice and clean stuff, to make sure it could be of good service
to somebody else. That’s why we are presenting you with this report from
our trip to Zakkarpatia in Ukraine, which we made at the beginning of June
this year. The primary goal of this trip was to document and show the public
in the Czech Republic how their donated goods helped.
During both last year and the current year
we organised charity collecting of used
clothes, shoes and toys in the Community
Centre on the premises of the BB
Centrum. Many families got new clothes
and we could see many children smiling
thanks to the generosity of the kind donors.
Throughout our trip to Ukraine, we could
see amazing results of the material aid
that has been provided for many years by
Maranatha o.s. in cooperation with the association
Pomoc bez hranic o.s. in Zakkarpatia
Oblast in Ukraine. During our trip we
visited a children’s home for handicapped
kids, district hospital, school and we also
individually visited several families. One of
the most moving experiences came when
we visited a settlement on the Hungarian
border. When we say “we are helping
socially disadvantaged families”, you can
hardly imagine the true meaning of these
words until you see it for yourselves. The
living conditions of these people are truly
maranatha maranatha
shocking. The homes where they live are
more like shanties, built from branches and
sticks, covered with mud. Pieces of plastic
or fibre cement are used as a roof. As I was
looking at these “houses”, I wondered what
happens when it rains and, even worse,
how do the people survive winter? The
situation in villages and towns is slightly
better. People live in houses, although in
most cases the conditions are still alarming.
The houses are falling apart, walls are covered
with mould, mud floors are covered by
thin woven carpets and you can hear the
wind wailing through broken windows. The
whole family often sleeps in one room. The
only room serves basically for all purposes.
In the poorest parts of the country, you can
see children with dirty faces running around
barefoot; their clothes full of holes hang on
the last weak fibres.
28 29
After we had returned we started planning
further aid activities immediately. One of them
is going to be another collection of clothes,
as it was very successful both last and this
year. We are pleased by the concern of all
who are not negligent to the destiny of these
people. We believe that the clothes collecting
activity will have the same amazing results in
the future. The first clothes collection will take
place on 4 – 6 October 2010 and we would
like to extend it to collecting blankets, sheets,
and because the winter is getting closer we
will also collect winter clothes and boots. During
the collection, on Monday 4 October from
6 p.m., we are planning a meeting and a talk
about Ukraine with the key founder and chairman
of the association Pomoc bez hranic, Mr.
Jan Lauterbach, who prefers personal contact
with donors and subsequently with the recipients,
and who transports the donated goods
to the designated places in person. You will
have a unique opportunity to hear about the
lives of people and about experiences from
the trips to Ukraine at first hand.
