PhotoMałgorzata Lebiedzińska and Jadwiga Kuczkowska set up Kuczkowska Lebiedzińska Konsulting. We employ the first two people, who, as it turns out later, will stay with us for many years.
PhotoAway from the hustle and bustle of the city, under a clear blue sky, we had the chance to connect with nature and befriend some very sociable animals. The whole day was filled with playing in nature, playing ball games, tag with a splash of water, and searching for hidden treats. After the crowning campfire of the trip, we returned with smiles on our faces and plans for future meetings.
In this innovative space filled with interactive exhibits, children had the opportunity to explore the wonders of science in a fun and accessible way. Following their exciting experiences at Smart Kids Planet, the children participated in specially prepared workshops. Guided by experienced animators, they had a chance to use their creativity and manual skills by crafting their own Christmas candles. This activity not only provided entertainment but also offered an opportunity to develop skills and pursue their passions. The workshop ended with the kids making lovely, unique candles. These candles aren’t just festive decorations, they’re also special reminders of this magical day. We are looking forward to organizing more activities in the near future!
Thanks to the talent and dedication of this young artist, our Christmas wishes have been given a unique setting. We hope that ingenuity and creativity will accompany us all throughout 2023!!
We went to a cowboy town where we panned for gold, solved riddles and had a great time. We hope to meet again soon!
This time, our team planned to decorate Christmas gingerbread cookies together. This face-to-face meeting was long awaited by all of us after the hard pandemic experience. Unfortunately, due to the increasing number of infections, together with the management of the Children’s Home, we decided that meeting in person with children might not be safe for both sides. Despite the difficulties, the gingerbread cookies that we delivered to five locations in Warsaw, along with the necessary decorations, turned out to be beautiful works of art. This time we can only admire photos of the works, but we hope that next year the circumstances will be better and we will be able to organise a great event all together. We look forward to it!
Activities were mainly focused on supporting our business environment. As early as March 2020, we prepared and then repeatedly held online charity workshops for managers and employees of the companies we work with.
In mid-March, PSI Polska organised Easter workshops for the children from the Janusz Korczak Children’s Home No. 2 in Warsaw. At the National Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw, there were many attractions, the first of which was a guided tour of the permanent exhibition, followed by games related to the Polish Easter traditions. Then the PSI team and the children participated in art workshops where they decorated Easter eggs, made dreamcatchers and prepared little oat pots. Next came the culinary workshops, during which the participants discovered the secrets of making the traditional Polish Easter pastry – mazurek. The most exciting part was decorating and tasting the cakes. The event was ended with a little treat. Many thanks to all participants for having a great time together!
Happy Easter!
Another year has come to an end. This year the children from the Janusz Korczak Children’s Home No. 2 in Warsaw could enjoy going to the cinema and bowling with us, cooking and preparing smaller and larger parties together, as well as visiting the Horror House, which was accompanied by the most
emotions: confusion, fear, thrill and the desire to escape… Just like in a real horror film. It doesn’t matter if you are a child or an adult. ?
We hope that the coming New Year will take us to interesting new places and bring us lots of experience and fun. This Christmas we wish you all love, kindness and a lot of happy moments.
20th St. Nicholas Swimming Competition
PSI Polska had the honour to sponsor the 20th St. Nicholas Swimming Competition organised by the Integration Sports Club in Konstancin-Jeziorna. Nearly 300 competitors aged 4-16 and their parents participated in the competition. It was a family event aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle and spending leisure time actively together. In addition to individual competition, children and their parents took part in the 2×25 metre family relay. Congratulations to all competitors!

Traditionally, before Christmas, we met with “our” children to bake Christmas gingerbread cookies together. Their home is currently being renovated and the children have been temporarily accommodated in various facilities. Jadwiga Kuczkowska came up with the idea of combining business with pleasure. The gingerbread cookies, beautifully decorated by the children, not only brought joy,
but also helped to raise money for the winter holidays! In order to attract more attention to the event and achieve the ambitious goal, we joined forces with other friendly companies and their employees.
On 6 December, we completed the first stage of our plan. We gathered at the hospitable headquarters of the National Chamber of Commerce: children from the Children’s Home No. 2, (former and current) employees of PSI Polska, employees of other companies, partners of our fundraiser and other guests. Thanks to our joint efforts, we managed to decorate 700 delicious gingerbread hearts. Wonders of confectionery art were created, the charm and quantity of which surprised all the participants, and all this in a charming Christmas atmosphere.
An important moment for the children was the announcement of the results of the Christmas poem contest. Prizes were awarded to all the children who took part and the winning poems were printed on the cards that came with each gingerbread cookie.
After several eventful hours, we replenished our energy with delicious dumplings and pizzas provided by generous restaurateurs. All the food disappeared in the blink of an eye. Refreshed, we began to pack the gingerbread into baskets. Sunday work came to an end.
The next step is to sell the gingerbread cookies. We hope that this too will be a success and that the main goal of the fundraiser will be achieved: to raise funds for the winter holidays in 2016 and to make the children’s dream come true.
Gingerbread can be purchased in selected business centres in Warsaw and in the offices of the following companies:
• Budimex, ul. Stawki 40
• Covance, ul. Wspólna 47/49
• KIG, ul. Trębacka 4
• Lunch Bar Oliffka, ul. Jana Pawła II 80
• MB Cafe, ul. Gottlieba Daimlera 1
• Pandora, ul. 17 Stycznia 45B
• PSI Polska, Al. Jana Pawła II 80/142
• Pure Sky Club, ul. Złota 59
• Radio Kolor, ul. Narbutta 41/43
We also invite everyone to support our fundraiser by making a donation to the account of the Janusz Korczak Children’s Home No. 2 Association in Warsaw No. 32 2340 0009 1780 2460 0000 0026 with a note: “Winter Holiday 2016”.
The Association has already provided us with positive information about donations being made to the above account. We are incredibly pleased with these contributions, and we hope for more.
Both the financial contributions and the material support are invaluable in helping the children of the Children’s Home No. 2. We would also like to thank all those who joined us on the 6th of December and actively participated in our fundraiser. The children were delighted with the collaboration and are already asking: “When is the next time?”.
In a joyful atmosphere, we created handmade cards that the Children’s Home intends to sell to raise additional funds. Our work was made even more enjoyable thanks to delicious treats, as well as awards for the most beautiful cards. Each child received a small gift to celebrate the upcoming holidays.
In early spring this year, we went bowling with our friends. Everyone showed up in competitive spirit, ready and motivated to compete for medals. Firstly, we divided into teams and then the “battle” began. Both older and younger participants gave their best and had a great time. Delicious snacks and pizza were immensely helpful in the game and gave both the children and us energy. For the youngest, who found the bowling balls a bit too heavy, we prepared other attractions. The biggest of them was a five-storey playroom. Playing in a ball pool was crazy, and a 10-metre slide was a blast. When our bowling competition was over, all the participants were awarded with medals for their engagement and competitive spirit. The winning team was also announced. Everyone agreed that the bowling competition must be repeated soon!
Some of our employees have become fully involved in volunteering at the Children’s Home. During regular visits, our volunteers help the children with their homework, do art work or read books together. In addition to these activities, the volunteers very often take the children on trips around Warsaw, for example to the Copernicus Science Centre, the Invisible Exhibition, a cinema and a rope park. Weekend walks around the old town of Warsaw became the inspiration for a new passion of our friends. They were so fascinated by a group of street dancers that they wanted to try their hand at break dancing. Thanks to the kindness of the dancers, who decided to give free lessons to the children, our friends can develop their dancing skills.
However, the snow-covered Masovian Landscape Park looked completely different and it was great fun for all of us to rediscover familiar places. The sleigh ride was combined not only with a bonfire and tasting of delicious food, but also with crazy sleigh rides over the hills of the Łysa Mountain. The children shared their enthusiasm with us and the time spent with them brought back our childhood memories.
On Saint Nicholas Day, we visited our friends at their home. We organised some Christmas activities for them: decorating gingerbread cookies and glass baubles. Then the children made small packages with the cookies they had decorated, which were to be auctioned off. The children had so much fun decorating that when we ran out of gingerbread, they started decorating cookies to eat. An additional artistic challenge for all of us was to prepare stained glass with a Christmas theme. Some of them were also destined for the Children’s Home’s auction. The rest were used to decorate the windows in the children’s rooms. Our friends had so much fun decorating cookies and making stained glass that we had to postpone decorating Christmas baubles until the next day. All of the baubles decorated by the children were beautiful and truly diverse. They showed a lot of creativity in this activity: there were glass baubles painted with many colours, decorated with strings, pasta or sugar and with many other ornaments.
in a charming place 50 km from Warsaw. Luckily, the weather was great, with wonderful sunshine and warm temperature (as at the end of September) accompanying us during our stay at the „Hansel and Gretel” agrotourism farm in Wilków.
We spent this sunny Saturday very intensively due to the many activities prepared for the children (and for us). We started the day with clay modelling classes. The secrets of this activity were revealed to us by Mrs Małgosia, who helped the children to create real clay masterpieces. Afterwards, we had lunch, which gave us strength for the next challenge: a field game in groups lasting several hours. The spirit of healthy competition accompanied us throughout the entire game. The tasks prepared for each group required a huge effort, not only physically. Fortunately, the children coped wonderfully with all the tasks, even the hardest ones. Their energy was inexhaustible. The last challenge was to collect as many sweets as possible from the “minefield”. Although tired, we all eagerly started to clear the area.
Tired and hungry, but incredibly happy, we returned to the farm in the late afternoon, to find the fireplace and traditional food waiting for us.
Despite such an intense day, we still had the energy to play charades on the way back. As usually, it was hard for us to say goodbye after such a wonderful trip and a day full of positive emotions and surprises.
In January 2011, we decided to systematically support the Janusz Korczak Children’s Home in Warsaw. Knowing how quickly the children become attached, we made a commitment to start a long-term cooperation, which we plan to continue in the coming years.
In the first year of our cooperation, we invited the children to a bowling competition. After breaking the ice, everyone had a great time, and the joy in the children’s eyes at the end of the evening was invaluable. For the first time, we could see the importance of dedicating time and resources to children who cannot leave Warsaw for the winter holidays.
Soon after, we organised another outing and took our young friends on a sleigh ride. After racing through the forest near Podkowa Leśna, we stopped for a bonfire, roasted sausages, sang and participated in competitions. We came back with happy memories. The youngest participant of our winter excursion was only three years old.
In July, we met again to explore the picturesque biking trails of the Mazovian Landscape Park. Mr Dominik, a bike enthusiast who rents out bicycles and organises trips, was prepared enough to provide everyone with the appropriate equipment, including the youngest children who had never ridden a two-wheeled bike before. The trail proved challenging: steep hills, sand and puddles that had the power to attract the youngest… Thanks to teamwork and perseverance, we reached our destination. At the end of a several-hour ride, we stopped for a picnic in the woods, followed by other attractions. Saying goodbye was so difficult that we prolonged the trip by a few hours.
Christmas time was the perfect opportunity to visit our friends again. Of course, first of all we prepared and sent a special order to Santa Claus, thanks to whom there were many sweets and candies in the presents. We spent this magical evening taking part in games and competitions, in which both children from Children’s Home and PSI Polska employees took part. The most exciting competition was the one to make the longest chain for the Christmas tree. These games and competitions made us feel the magic of the coming Christmas.
Since the beginning of our company, we have sponsored various initiatives aimed at helping others. For many years we have supported financially an amateur theatre group made up of child actors performing in hospitals for their sick peers. The mailout of our seasonal greetings is combined with collecting funds for various children’s homes.
At each event, good fun was accompanied by serious conversations and challenging situations that enriched both sides.
