Flag of Smiling Hospital Foundation reached top of Kilimanjaro

We are proud and very pleased to have Dr Viktor Szücs on the board of our Foundation. Dr Szücs has taken the effort to bring along a flag of the Smiling Hospital Foundation during his climb of the Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Once standing on the snowy top of the Kilimanjaro, a photograph was taken by a fellow climber. This picture can been seen on our website: http://www.smilinghospital.com/

These are happy experiences, which inspire us with our work for the sake of sick children in hospitals. It makes us feel for a while as if we ourselves are "on top of the world".

We regard this successful climbing feat as a symbolic introduction to a beginning of our "smiling activities" in Africa later this year. In March, Countess Éva Csáky Bornemisza, our Founder, and I will visit Morocco for meetings with directors of hospitals in Casablanca and Rabat. We hope that Morocco will be the first country on the African continent where we bring smiles to children in hospitals.
