I had the honor of attending the Heart in the Palm award ceremony, which is traditionally organized by the Nitra Volunteer Center. Volunteers from all over the region received well-deserved recognition for their selfless help that improves lives in our communities.
This year, our member and chairwoman of Sunray for Children, Dagmar Szabó, also accepted the Heart in the Palm nomination.
Our nominee has been volunteering in international family issues since 2015. During this time, she has helped 213 families long-term. She answers questions by phone or email. She organizes events, roundtables, lectures,. She donates an average of 80 hours of her time per month.
Heart is still making efforts to help reunite families. It fights against children wrongfully taken away abroad. It helps children return to their biological parents or relatives. Then return to their home country.
Our nominee’s life motto is: A CHILD is a GIFT, not a commodity
