Summer at the Rehabilitation Center

By Olga Janaszek - Serafin | Project Leader

Treasures of the forest locked in a jar.

Little Explorers is an extraordinary time for children who, due to disabilities, cannot go to summer camps with healthy children.
For these children, since 2015, we have been organizing real camps - without parents, but with plenty of activities and attractions. There is no tedious rehabilitation, instead there is learning independence through fun! 22 children with intellectual disabilities from all over Poland came to us from July 11-15. Some of them required 1-on-1 care. Daily activities were held at the Rehabilitation Center, in the day care center and outdoors. The children slept in a neighboring school.
Participation in the camp is free of charge, so that money is not an obstacle for parents.

During this camp 8 retired volunteer doctors (neurologists, oncologist, internists, nephrologist, gynecologist, surgeon) came to visit us. They diagnosed wards of our Foundation and refugees from Ukraine at the Rehabilitation Center. These retired doctors studied medicine together with doctor Piotr Janaszek - a Patron of the PAY IT FORWARD Foundation who died in a car accident in 1998.

18th birthday of the PAY IT FORWARD Foundation

By Olga Janaszek - Serafin | Project Leader

Delicious cakes and "Happy birthday!"

On February 26, we celebrated the 18th birthday of the PAY IT FORWARD Foundation. Foundation charges, volunteers and staff spent the day at the Rehabilitation Center. We broadcast a live report every hour. We told what we do, with whom and why, who we help and who helps us. There were delicious cakes and we sang Happy birthday! For the youngest we prepared various games and activities.

At the beginning of March on the roof of our center we installed 72 photovoltaic panels with nominal power of 450 Wp. Thanks to that we will be able to allocate the obtained savings to financing the therapy and rehabilitation of the disabled!

On 29 March a group of our friends brought and planted 55 beautiful trees. Our park is getting more and more beautiful!

On April 14 we installed devices that imitate obstacles - curbs, stairs, unevenness. People in wheelchairs face similar barriers in everyday life. We called it the Park of Independence.

We filmed 16 training videos for people with disabilities. This allows people with different types of disabilities to train at home. We shot some of the films at the Rehabilitation Center.

Since the beginning of March at the Foundation we have been helping disabled refugees from Ukraine and their families. Currently there are 25 people in the Foundation (including 11 people in wheelchairs), for whom we provide accommodation, food and everything they need. All people with disabilities have comprehensive rehabilitation at our Rehabilitation Center. We try to help wisely and have enough strength and resources so that our Polish charges do not suffer.

Regular day care and rehabilitation classes are held at our Rehabilitation Center.

We broadcast a live report every hour!
