Award
Projekt Šance wins the Shalom* award
The Shalom Association for Justice and Peace at the Catholic University of Eichstät-Ingolstadt hereby bestows on Mr. László Sümegh of the unincorporated association Projekt Šance in Prague / Czech Republic a refuge and counselling centre for children living on the street
the Shalom 2008 Award
for its peerless commitment in the promotion of dignity for children living on the street and the victims of abuse, on behalf of individuals and groups that take action on behalf of endangered children
The Lord Mayor of Eichstät and the Shalom association
Another important award in support of the activities of Projekt Šance, which had its lease contract for Dům Šance terminated at the end of April by Prague 5.
László Sümegh has issued the following statement: “For us this award is an indication of interest from the outside world. We found ourselves in a situation in which the ruling communal politicians in the Prague 5 district want to bury Dům Šance and, to our surprise, our S.O.S. – the letter from the “Street Children” – is heard better abroad than by the mothers and fathers in charge of the responsible authorities in our own country”.
In the past this award has been bestowed, for example, on the former Polish president Lech Walesa.
