The MUW community for the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity - we invite you to join us in playing for pediatric ophthalmology!

The 30th Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) will take place on Sunday, January 30. This year’s aim of the collection under the slogan "Open your eyes" is to buy specialist equipment which will ensure the highest standards in diagnostics and treatment of children's eyesight. Our university also joined the action, offering, among other things, over 30 auctions to bid on.

According to the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation, every year in pediatric ophthalmology wards several thousand patients are hospitalized, not only with deterioration of vision, but also with glaucoma, cataracts, injuries and tumors. Many of these conditions require surgery. Therefore, it is important to equip ophthalmology wards with state-of-the-art equipment of the highest quality.

We encourage you to support the Orchestra by participating in auctions organized as part of the "MUW community for WOŚP" campaign. The auction includes, among others, bowling with the Rectors of the MUW, a model of a pacemaker from Prof. Marcin Grabowski, a swimming lesson with Paweł Korzeniewski, an outfit from the Opening  of the Paralympic Games in Tokyo from Andrzej Ochal, and an open pass to enter the Olympic swimming pool at the Sports and Rehabilitation Center.

These and other MUW auctions are available here

We also encourage you to participate in the online collection.

Last year our community donated 45 028, 39 PLN to the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP). We are hoping to top that amount this year with your help! Let's play together to ensure the highest standards of sight diagnosis and treatment for children!

For the third year in a row, the "MUW community for WOŚP" campaign is coordinated by the MUW Student Self-Government, Faculty Self-Governments and IFMSA-Poland Warsaw Branch with the cooperation of the Communication and Promotion Office MUW.
