On 11 November 2007, awards of the 9th edition of the “Pro Publico Bono” competition were given in Cracow. The aim of the competition is to support social development and building the new, democratic country through awarding the most interesting civic initiatives.
The competition committee, chaired by Prof. Andrzej Zoll, awarded the first prize to Fundacja Pomocy Wzajemnej “Barka” (Barka Foundation for Mutual Help) from Poznan for creation of the European Network of Migrants in London and Dublin.
First prizes and distinctions in five categories were also given.
In the “health protection, social and charity support” category, the first prize and 45 thousand PLN were awarded to the Sanok Circle of our Society for “assistance and bringing light into the life of bedridden people.”
Awards were given as part of the Independence Day ceremony in Cracow.
