This gathering was the best proof that building a community is so much more than creating a WhatsApp group or hosting an occasional workshop. It is regular work and daily support that results in genuine emotions, real relationships, and the feeling – here, abroad – of belonging to a kind and supportive group.

Last Sunday, more than 70 people – with a strong turnout as always – came together to create a space where:

🎶 Christmas carols filled the room – beautifully sung and played (❤️ Dawid Malkowicz, Aleksandra Czajka, Joanna Wielec, Karolina Maria Jóźwiak, Agata Czaplicka, with technical support from Rafal Lagowski Mikusek)

🕯️ words of reflection brought us closer to the festive spirit (❤️ Kasia Grusky)

🧒 children ran, laughed, and did not want to leave Santa’s Elves Workshop (❤️ Anna Halicka, Katarzyna Anna Dzierżak, Lucyna Czarnecka Olma)

🍽️ everyone enjoyed traditional Polish food that tasted “just like home” – the real one, 3,000 km away (❤️ La Polonesa Restaurante Polaco)

Behind each such event there are dozens of hours of preparation and a huge amount of heart – from our core Team and all the volunteers who join us.
That is why we want to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, everyone who supports PPM – with their work and small contributions – understanding the value of what we are building together.

This meeting only confirmed that we are moving in the right direction. And that it’s worth it ❤️ Looking forward to repeating it – every year!🙂
