16 September, 2009

A most wonderful start was made this morning in Balatonfüred. The deputy-mayor, Dr Kiszeli Pál, immediately felt the essence of our activities in the hospitals and promised his strong support by trying to get 20 members. After his return from a business trip to Turkey later in September, we will meet again to discuss what else could be done in Balatonfüred for the Smiling Hospital Foundation.
After this auspicious meeting in Balatonfüred, I met an other great supporter for our cause. The mayor of Balatonszőlős, Mr András Nagy, believes to be able to get us ten members while the population in his place is only 600. An other beautiful example of "what looks small creates big".
This great experience was actually similar in the village Vöröstó, where the kind mayor, Mrs Rákos Margit, will try hard to raise two memberships from a village with only 93 people!
And the last meeting today was equally inspiring, when I discussed with mayor Kertész Lajos his great efforts to help with five memberships from his village Pula, which has only only 228 inhabitants.
A wonderful day in beautiful country-side with a great result of 48 new memberships, if.............the mayors will match their supportive statements with same strong actions!!
