Yesterday I was collecting money for Polish charity called "Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy". This charity is collecting during whole year but once a year there is a final of this action. It was 24th time this final took place. WOŚP and its volunteers are collecting for sick children and old people. This year I decided that I want to be a part of this venture. So I joined it!
 Me an my friend Ania cut out heart shaped WOŚP stickers, grabbed our cans, IDs and went to shopping centre in Katowice. We were standing there for about 5 hours and we met loads of amazing and nice people. Especially one man made my heart warmed. It was an old, poor man who came to throw a lot of pennies to our can. He kept them in a small leaflet and decided to divide it into two parts so both of us will get the same amount of money. HE said he has been collecting these pennies for the whole year just to give them to WOŚP. It was beautiful because he wasn't rich but was supporting people who have even less than him. All in all I collected about 350,00 PLN and I'm quite proud about it. It was great to became a part of something bigger and help somebody. I remember when I was a small child I had to spend a long time in the hospital and almost everything was covered with those red heart shaped stickers, which means it was bought by WOŚP from money they collected. It's amazing how much this charity can do. I hope money I've collected will help someone in the future because that's the one and only reason why I decided to join this event.
