They inspire us to do good
– As Maria Skłodowska-Curie wrote, life is beautiful as long as a person can give it meaning, and helping others is one of the most beautiful meanings of life. Both Marta, Halina and Wiktoria are able to encourage others to help those in need. It's a great skill. I congratulate the winners, I am glad their great work and commitment have been appreciated, and I wish them to extend the good that, thanks to them, to more people, to as many people as possible - sums up Dominika Kulczyk.
