Like in the previous years, also this year the responsiveness of people was larger and the total donated amount, LVL 138, 834.88, which means that it will be possible to help 31 child who lack the dearest thing in life – health. Among the donators, there were many children, who came to the Kindness Day with special feelings and donated the contents of their piggybanks for the treatment of ill children.
