The Joanna Radziwill Care Wings Foundation provides its wards not only with warm meals and art classes. Above all, it gives them the tools to lead their lives according to a different script than the one written by conditions in their family homes. This, in turn, translates into a better future for society as a whole. We talk to Magda Krynska, vice president and co-founder of the foundation. Angelika Kuci\u0144ska: Do you talk to your charges about the future? Magda Krynska: Of course, it&#8217;s hard to imagine raising a child without discussing this topic with them. We talk to children about who they are, what they like to do, what gives them pleasure and what they are strong in. We want them to think today about what may await them in the future. Such thinking stimulates creativity, shows how much depends on ourselves, and at the same time prompts them to do more already here and now. We try to show children that every day they create their future and work for it, encourage them to be active. How do your kids see their future? Do they want to talk about it? Very different. Some children are very reflective. They realize that they are on a certain path and who they are today and what they do today will affect who they will be in the future. Then there are those children who find it difficult to think about the future because they are anchored in their family problems, difficulties. This situation makes their ability to think, to reflect limited. They are not taught to think about themselves, they run away from questions that are difficult for them, which are related to their identity and difficult everyday life. In our house, we talk to our children a lot, we ask them a lot of questions. We don&#8217;t always expect answers right now. Sometimes a child needs time, space to answer them. It is worth asking children questions, putting them in situations where they can define themselves, their position, their voice. In this way we help them build their &#8220;self&#8221;. And what kind of future would YOU want for the children you help? I would like our children to accept and like themselves, to be open to what is different and new, to be tolerant. I would like each of them to consciously follow the path they have chosen, to be able to dream and make those dreams come true. Regardless of what kind of home they were born in and what conditions they grew up in. You said about liking yourself. Do children have a problem with self-acceptance? A common characteristic of all our children is low self-esteem. Every child who comes to us struggles with this problem. We show them that they are cool, that they have different talents, that they can have different interests. We discover their strengths together with them. When children see that they are good at something and are successful, their self-esteem increases and pays off in other spheres of life as well For me, what you are doing is not just about fighting for a better future for each individual child. It&#8217;s also about working for a better future for the entire adult society that these children will one day co-create. Whenever I think of our children, I get chills. And now that I&#8217;ve heard this phrase, I have them too. In our foundation it is like a family home. We know all our children well. We know their weaknesses and like them even more strongly for them. At the moment we have twenty-nine wards. This is the kind of number that allows us to know the children well and help them. We know their family situations, their needs, their difficulties. We are crazy happy when we see our children grow into good, smiling, kind, helpful people. We know this is happening because some of our charges are already adults or are just entering adulthood. We are proud that they have grown into smart, good people. We know that things could have been different, that these children could have grown up to be unhappy, embarrassed, hidden, rebellious, angry at the world. We are very proud of the success of our children, our graduates. They are beautiful sensitive young people. Goodness begets goodness As Joanna Radziwill&#8217;s Caring Wings Foundation, you run family homes. What does that mean in practice? We try to create a second home for children. A second one, because the children have their family homes, but for various reasons they can&#8217;t get in them what every child needs to develop properly. Therefore, we create a place for them where they can feel safe, are accepted, and where they can develop. This is not just a second home for the children, but also for us, the educators, the foundation staff, and our volunteers. A warm, safe place that we miss when we are not here for a few days. It happens that we accompany a child for up to a dozen years. The time we spend with the children allows us to enter into a very close relationship with them and build bonds like in a real family. What happens to such a child who comes to you after school? My guess is that it doesn&#8217;t sit idle. We wait for our children every day &#8211; it&#8217;s important that already when they enter the house, they feel that we are waiting for them. There is also always a second breakfast waiting for the children. Later, there is time for rest, and then the children sit down to their lessons. Our tutors and volunteers help the children with homework and catching up on schoolwork. We provide speech therapy, psychological therapies, English and math lessons. Children are also provided with home-cooked lunches with us. I would like to add that lunches are cooked"}
