We are very proud of this tradition and we would like to celebrate Thanksgiving Day in accordance with this honorable tradition. The Amcham Board of Governors selected two charities based on the recommendations by International Children Service and United Way Hungary, that AmCham Hungary will support each November. This foundation helps aid children with mental and physical disabilities. The institution gives special treatment in nursery school, general school, special secondary school, student homes, and two other special homes for orphans. The goal of this program is to help integrate these children into the working world and change prejudices that society has towards handicapped people.
Teachers make every possible effort to create a loving, nurturing, and family-like environment.
The teachers could not provide for the children's needs without AmCham's support. In addition to financial support, AmCham has donated carpeting, chairs, furniture, kitchenware, clothing, linen, a multi-functional professional cleaning and disinfecting machine, toys, food, and a minibus. Yet, the home still needs an industrial washing machine, a printer, a copy machine, and much more. The other selected organization is the Fl ra Foundation . They have to move out from the only room they have had so far.
