AUCTION 2020
SMILE FUND
Following the long-term cooperation with the Via Foundation (https://www.nadacevia.cz/), we have established a partnership with its sister organization Via Clarita Foundation (http://viaclarita.cz/) dealing with the donation and overall philanthropy. The result of this co-operation has been the creation of the Smile Fund within the Via Clarita Foundation, which will now be used to finance all activities related to DD in Dolní Počernice under the Smile project. The founder of the fund is the founder of the project Smile, Ms Natalie Nováková, and the Via Clarita Foundation.
The basic allocation of the funds is unchanged and it is to support the educational projects and, at the same time, enriching leisure activities of children from children's home in Dolní Počernice. We believe that the creation of the fund will allow greater transparency of financial support itself and will also make it easier for our donors to provide support to our project. Of course, we will form now on provide a written certificate of donation for donor accounting if the donor wants it. We hope that the foundation of the Smile Fund will attract other donors and sponsors to our project, and we will be able to financially cover more educational projects for children from the children's home. We would like to thank all our existing donors and supporters and we will look forward to further cooperation in the coming period.

ABOUT OUR PROJECT
We are students of English College in Prague. Since we consider education to be very important, we have decided to create a long-term charity project called 'Smile', whose purpose is to raise financial means for individual educational projects of children from children's home suburb of Prague with a less fortunate fate than many of us.
Furthermore, we are also planning to cooperate with the children’s home by helping kids to improve their knowledge in English, but also other subjects and by organising various events including workshops or sport activities.
