About our club
Kiwanis ADSUM club in Zielona Góra was created in 1997. Since then a substantial part of our work and initiative have been devoted to children living in the commune of Świdnica near Zielona Góra. We look after sociotherapeutic clubs located in the area. In recent years we have concentrated mostly on two fields: education and culture. We are also strongly involved in the 'Kiwanis dolls' programme. Each year we deliver about 200 dolls to the Children' Ward for the benefit of the youngest patients. We have been cooperating with Kiwanis club in Frankfurt- at the Oder river for a number of years. Ever year, on the basis of our agreement we organise a common venture called „Culture Day- Kulturtag' for children belonging to our clubs. Our club also cooperates with a Complex of Technical Schools in Zielona Góra where we try to encourage the youth to get involved in voluntary work. It is very important for us to set up a junior club in the school. The young people have already manifested a great enthusiasm in working for the benefit of children. Last year, thanks to the engagement of the school's students it was possible to raise money for the treatment of a sick child as well as to deliver material gifts to Single Mothers' and Child' House.
Since the 31st of December we have been an Organisation of Public Benefit.
The author of the idea of organizing the open-air painting workshops with members of Kiwanis for talented young people among whom the most gifted one is chosen to be granted artistic scholarship, is Beata Santarek from K.I. club Pulawy. She, as the Commissioner of the event, undertook this difficult and innovatory enterprise. Beata was supported in the organizational matters -she could count on the members of her club, the host of this region-Kiwanis International Club Pulawy.
