Children who underwent bone marrow transplant had a chance to spend time together with their families in pleasant surroundings for the 13th time. It was the first time that the Kvapka nádeje Foundation (“Drop of Hope”) organized the trip for the little patients who won the fight against Leukemia and it took place in the Special Purpose facility of the National Council of the Slovak Republic in Častá – Papiernička.
Almost 70 children spent an extraordinary morning with the soldiers. A military wake-up call, a morning exercise or a show of the Guard of Honor of the Armed Forces of the SR were among the activities which the small patients could enjoy. The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic Lieutenant General Peter Vojtek also paid a visit to the children. ̔All these children are big fighters and I believe that this morning mutually enriches us. It is a great honor for us, the soldiers, to spend these moments with these children,’ he stated.
The children could practice throwing a grenade at a specific target, airsoft gun shooting and try on the Guard of Honors’ uniforms. All the children were thrilled by the dynamic show of the military police, who captured a dangerous offender using a police dog, and by the demonstration of the members of the Engineer Battalion in Sereď.
The cynologists from Hronsek addressed their colleagues from the K-7 Rescue Dog Handlers of the SR, who through the canistherapy help the little patients overcome their health problems. Eventually, all the children received a ‘military exercise graduate’ card. The military police from Topolčany, the military cynologists from Hronsek, the divers from the Engineer Battalion in Sereď, the members of the Guard of Honors of the AF of the SR and the recruiting group from Bratislava participated in this program.
