On Monday, August 28, after a few weeks of hard work, the volunteers who worked on the renovation of the Children's Home No.11 in Łódź (Workcamp Łódź 2017) met with the residents of the renovated house, the city authorities, sponsors.
For the last three weeks at Wólczańska 251, the renovation works took place. – We polished and painted the walls on the colors chosen by children. We exchanged all the floor panels and placed the wall and floor tiles in the living room – explains Mateusz Dankowski, project coordinator, graduate of the Technical University of Lodz.
Among the volunteers #WspieramWorkcampLodz there were also employees of Mota-Engil Central Europe:
One of the biggest obstacles was the small size of the rooms – consequently the furniture had to be moved constantly from one place to another. The challenge was a kitchen combined with the living room: laying tiles on the floor, wall, grouting, painting while maintaining the dining function for the whole team, – says Karina Figlus, construction engineer in Mota-Engil Central Europe S.A.
The rooms have become fresh and bright with new furniture. We, volunteers, are really proud of our work and the final result. Nevertheless we are not resting and we are already thinking about starting preparations for next year edition – says Karina.
The project and activities of more than 20 volunteers within the We support locally program were once again supported by Mota-Engil Central Europe, which currently builds two housing projects in Łódź: Ilumino at Kilińskiego street and housing estate at Wodna 23.
