From Switzerland with Love
Charity project
Our association also carries out the annual charity project “With Love from Switzerland.” We invite creative individuals who enjoy hosting workshops, have time, and are willing to support a good cause to take part.
The main goal of the project is to bring joy and care to children in orphanages and children with disabilities before the New Year, filling their hearts with kindness and warmth.
Take part in this good cause and help bring smiles and warmth to children’s faces!
