Sick Kids From Vác Are Healing Through Happiness
"Soap bubbles, glitter tattoos, origami, dominos and music are not the first things that come to mind when one thinks about hospitals. We associate hospitals with pain, strange smells, weird equipment and fear – but why could not fun and relief also be part of it? Everyone needs time to relax and we all need support from others in difficult times – so do sick children in hospital who don’t understand why they have to be there and what is happening to them.

There are hundreds of volunteers nationwide in Hungary dedicating their free time to help sick children. These volunteers design activities for the children according to their age and needs, playing with the little ones to distract them from their illness and doing handcrafts with older children while also providing emotional support by having conversations with them and their parents.



Smiling Hospital Foundation is the organization behind the highly motivated, carefullly selected and well-trained volunteers. Besides Budapest, Smiling Hospital Foundation is present in 5 cities, right now Vác is one of the new locations where these initiatives are being implemented.



Thanks to the partnership with Vác FC in the Community, the Smiling Hospital Foundation have received over 20 new applicants in the last few days and their selection is currently ongoing. Once these volunteers are properly trained, they will start visiting the children’s ward in Jávorszky Ödön Hospital in Vác.


This is how Vác FC could help, but how can you? Smiling Hospital Foundation appreciate every donation or would even welcome to 1% of a companys’ income tax, a donation which is completely tax deductbale. Help us bring more smiles to more children into more hospitals!
