We are cordially inviting you to the Good Bazaar of the Trenčín Foundation on 16th December on the Peace Square in Trenčín. We will welcome a renowned performer, glossarist and the cast member of the Astorka Korzo ´90 theatre: Lukáš Latinák. If you visit the Trenčín Christmas Fair on this day, come to purchase a small gift for a close one and have fun with our friends – mime Vlado Kulíšek and clown Aďo Ohrádka.
It has been nineteen years that anonymous donors can donate to children from families in social need. The small readers go to kindergartens and primary schools mostly in Trenčín, but also in Trenčianske Jastrabie, Bánovce nad Bebravou, Stará Turá and for the second year, we will be providing books to children from the Shelter and Centre of Social Services in Prievidza.
After two years hiatus, we are once again looking forward to meeting you at the Good Bazaar of the Trenčín Foundation. On the 17th December on the Peace Square in Trenčín, we will welcome two celebrities, the moderator Alena Heribanová and actor Ady Hajdu. If you visit the Christmas Fair on this day, come and have a bit of fun with our friends, the mime Vlado Kulíšek, and clown Aďo Ohrádka, and why not buy a thing or two for your loved ones.
The Trenčín Foundation has been turning to kind donors for eighteen years with its pre-Christmas project “Open Your Heart, Donate a Book“, and supplying their gifts in the form of a children´s book to little readers from families in temporary or long-term social need.
Throughout the year, artists act out theatrical performances for children with different kinds of disadvantage that are separated from their close-ones and placed in institutions of social and health care in Slovakia. Together with the clowns, the children dream, discover the contents of the „Magic Suitcase“, get to know the “Strong Max“, “Goldilocks“ and the “Rabitt Lajko“, visit the “Supermarket“ and the “Fairytale Ball“.
If you happened to pass through the town on 11th June, purposefully or not, you might have been be surprised or delighted by meeting a clown. There were six of them and they were ready to entertain children and spread joy to those that are sad, just as they have been doing throughout their carreers.
Our project ‘Open Your Heart, Donate a Book‘ reminded us again that children like books. This goes for Slovak kids as well as those from Ukraine. In cooperation with our partners, we are securing printing of books in Ukrainian language. You can download the books yourselves, print it and deliver it to the collection spots for Ukraine. If you don´t have the capacity to print the book, you can send a financial contribution to the Trenčín Foundation and we will use these funds to print, cover and distribute the children´s books.
Before our clowns appear at the Day with Dr. Clown event in June on the Štúr Square in Trenčín, they will meet children from Ukraine and attempt to make them smile. They will travel to places, where their acting and long term performing experience might help to ease tension, bring solace and a bit of an escape from the reality.
