+ What they are saying “We (Lufthansa Team with 14
participants) had two really great and exciting days at the hospital. It was a very special experience for everybody. Everything was organised perfectly from your part. Renata and the two coordinators did a great job. At the hospital we were received with open arms; the nurses even prepared sandwiches for us. Thanks again for the cooperation and for giving us the possibility to take part in the amazing work of your foundation.”

What they are saying
+ “We experienced the thankfulness not
only of the hospital staff, but also of the parents and children at the ward. It also turned out to be a powerful team building experience for the Tesa team. I would like to encourage other organizations or companies to consider such an event. I am sure Smiling Hospital would be happy to provide the same professional organization as they did for Tesa.”

science and medical attention. Levity and laughter as part of a child’s day in the hospital does wonders for the soul. That’s why the Smiling Hospital Foundation is such a vital and important program.”
