The entire history of the project began fifteen years ago. Year by year, the campaign is gaining more and more momentum and popularity. With each edition, the heart made up of golden coins is getting bigger and bigger, and members of the Student Science Club Inwestor are breaking records. This was also the case this year.
Yet again, we have shown that the inhabitants of Lodz can unite for a worthy cause. We would like to thank all the volunteers for the tremendous amount of work and commitment they put into preparing another great edition of the project, and everyone who decided to contribute to such a beautiful result
– says Lidia Trzeciak, coordinator of this year's "Zbudujmy Razem Serce" project.
Many people were involved in the project – a five-person project team, forty volunteers, including students of the University of Lodz, current and former members of the Student Science Club Inwestor and University of Lodz Ambassadors! Last year, the students collected almost PLN 90,000, and all the gold coins weighed as much as 5.5 tonnes. This year, they donated more than 430 safe envelopes to the bank, and each envelope weighed about 15 kg! This is truly a huge amount and value.
At their stand, on 28 January 2024 students of the University of Lodz were not only building a golden heart with the inhabitants of Lodz, but also prepared many attractions for visitors – face painting, a 360 photo booth, a photo frame and a visit from Alex the lion. The finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity is not the end of work for the Student Club. Before the convoy visits to collect all the collected money, students must first sort and pack it carefully. It all takes almost two weeks, but it's definitely worth the effort!
Students often find various treasures, such as jewellery, hooks, fish and frogs with money for good luck, as well as valuable coins with many years of history among tons of gold coins.
We would like to thank all the participants of the project with all our hearts not only as the "Zbudujmy Razem Serce" team, but also as representatives of the academic community. Every little bit of help and every single coin, even a symbolic one, helped us support the charity with a record amount of over PLN 100,000. In each edition of the event, you show us the true strength of the Lodz community and this time you have outdone yourself. Thank you!
– comments Lidia Trzeciak, a student of the University of Lodz.
The goal has been achieved! In this year's edition, students worked together to collect the magical PLN 100,000 and even more! Now we can officially summarize that during all fifteen editions of the "Zbudujmy Razem Serce" project, the staff of the Student Science Club have donated PLN 812,469 to the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation! This is a great result.
