On behalf of the President of Poland, Szymon Hołownia, Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, presented state honours to two remarkable women who have dedicated their lives to helping children in need. Sister Jolanta, who turned 100 this year, was awarded the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta. Sister Mariola, our beloved Mommy, who has run our home for nearly 300 children for more than 30 years, received the Officer’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
These honours are a tribute to two of Poland’s finest ambassadors, presented in a year that also marks the special 100th anniversary of the Kasisi Children’s Home. We wholeheartedly congratulate our beloved Sisters!
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
