Buy a Book idea
If you wish to join the initiative, you may buy 5-PLN and 10-PLN vouchers (or higher) to receive the literary titles of your choice. A real treat for those who love to read and wish to help at the same time.
The money collected during the fair will be used to provide physical therapy to the patients at the Wroclaw Children's Hospice Foundation. This is the only home hospice in Lower Silesia, and it provides care to over 260 children with incurable and chronic diseases. Doctors, nurses and physical therapists visit children at their homes to take care of them, alleviate pain and improve the quality of their lives.
The idea to organise the initiative came from the ABSL Regional Chapter in Wroclaw, a local branch of the Association of Business Service Leaders in Poland.

Buy a Book in figures
This is a fourth edition of the fair that combines charity with pleasure. At this year's fair, original Christmas postcards will also be available, designed by the students of the Wroclaw Academy of Fine Arts.
The annual Buy a Book fair has collected over 30 thousand PLN so far. The money will be transferred to the Wroclaw Children's Hospice Foundation to provide physical therapy of their patients. The hospice is active throughout Lower Silesia and it is unique in that it is not a stationary health care unit; the foundation representatives arrange mini hospitals in the homes of their little patients to provide suitable conditions for treatment, and they also pay for their physical therapy and provide other necessary support.
