She explained that this was happening as part of the “Teachers Sew for WOŚP” campaign. – We sew good things here – added Florkiewicz-Borkowska.
The “Teachers sew with WOŚP” campaign was organized for the fourth time.
“We want to spread our good energy further into the world”
– Yesterday we were sewing stuffed animals all day in Warsaw, but in addition, teachers from all over Poland are sewing “Giant Sorrow Eaters” – she said.
She also confirmed that the people involved in the campaign come up with the designs for the stuffed animals themselves. – We are inspired by drawings, trends, books, but also by our imagination – she admitted.
– Teachers, i.e. men, also sew. Teachers are very creative, they are very positive people. We want to spread our good energy further into the world. Bid and support our campaign! – she appealed. She also pointed out that the stuffed animals go to orphanages, retirement homes, care homes, but also to ordinary people who “just want to have a colorful Eater.”

WOŚP 2025. Summer riot in the middle of winter
The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity has been playing since 1993. For 32 years, the WOŚP Foundation has been supporting the Polish health care system through one-day public collections called Finals: it buys the most modern medical equipment for hospitals, runs eight nationwide medical programs, implements an educational program and promotes a healthy lifestyle and preventive activities.
During 32 Finals, WOŚP collected nearly PLN 2.3 billion, which was used to purchase 74.5 thousand various medical devices. During most of the Finals, the Orchestra played to improve the quality of medical care for children. But not only that. In the last two years, among other things, the Foundation also conducted collections for adults: in 2023 for the fight against sepsis, and in 2024 – for the treatment of lung diseases.
The main theme of the 33rd Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity is the safety and health of children, and is accompanied by the slogan: “We play for health!”. The collected funds will be allocated to the needs of pediatric hematology and oncology.
The 33rd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will take place on Sunday, January 26, but some traditional initiatives – such as the Warsaw Run “Count yourself with diabetes!” – will be organized on Saturday, January 25. All the most important events will be available on TVN24, TVN, TTV, on MAX, Player.pl, TVN24 GO and on the tvn24.pl portal.
