Spreading Christmas Joy at UCK Pediatric Wards in Gdańsk

8.01.2025

This holiday season, the pediatric wards at the University Clinical Center (UCK) in Gdańsk were filled with joy, laughter, and the spirit of giving. In a heartwarming initiative, every child hospitalized at UCK received a special Christmas present.

The gifts were delivered by a group of English-speaking students who took on the roles of Santa Claus and his cheerful helpers. Dressed in festive costumes, they visited children on all pediatric wards, spreading holiday cheer not only among the young patients but also their families and the hospital staff.

The sight of Santa and his team lighting up the hospital corridors brought smiles to everyone they encountered. For the children, it was a magical escape from the challenges of being in the hospital during the festive season. For parents, it was a moment of joy and comfort, knowing that their little ones were remembered and cared for during this special time of year.

This initiative highlights the power of community and the importance of bringing happiness to those who need it most, especially during the holidays. It was a reminder that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference, leaving lasting memories for all involved.
