A female reader showed exceptional empathy when, shortly before midnight on New Year’s Day, she found an injured kitten that had been hit on the road. We described her story and her difficulty obtaining help in the article: A Half-Alive Kitten on the Road on New Year’s Day. And No Help Anywhere?! What Happened That Night?
February 2022
Residents of the county delivered hundreds of thousands of tons of donations to Ukraine, which was fighting for its freedom. Many people were involved in creating the exceptional “Helping Hand” facility. For three days, more than twenty people—volunteers and employees of municipal and county institutions—sorted and packed donations for Zbaraż. A power generator, exceptionally valuable at that time and donated by PWiK, was also sent to the partner city. It was a great outpouring of solidarity and assistance in the face of war
Thanks to your big hearts and generosity, as well as donors from Poland and around the world, we fought for the life of three-year-old Julcia. The amount of goodwill that flowed from Bolesławiec County to this little girl and her family was immeasurable.
March 2022
At the parents’ request, we investigated the matter of Is the constitutional right to education being violated at a primary school in Bolesławiec? Together with you, we stand up for the secular nature of schools and the state. In this case, it was important to publicly expose a bad practice at a school where religion classes were held instead of substitute lessons in the relevant subject.
April 2022
It was a moving and very important moment for female refugees from Ukraine. In Bolesławiec, more than 800 children and their guardians met for the “Day of Children’s Solidarity” to send greetings to the children of Ukraine, express their dreams, and convey messages important to the adult world.
“Happy is the one who lives in peace; there is no greater happiness on earth” and “The measure of a true hero is not muscle strength, but strength of heart”—these were two of the many sayings that soared with ecological balloons in the national colors of Poland and Ukraine, released on Bolesławiec’s Market Square by Polish children and Ukrainian children staying in Bolesławiec.

You supported activists from the Women’s Strike, including Halina Gniewek from Gromadka. The police sought to punish Halina Gniewek for organizing a protest. The court found the evidence presented by the police insufficient.
In July, you also showed what good, constructive patriotism looks like and organized the Tour de Konstytucja in Bolesławiec, which we covered. Glinoludka read the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, as befits a city of ceramics!
August 2022
As every year, together with you, we created the Bolesławiec Ceramic Festival. We made sure that one of Bolesławiec’s events, Gliniada, would forever remain associated with Bolesławiec. The trademarks “gliniada” and “glinolud” belong to those who, for five years, have organized clay painting for residents and tourists in Bolesławiec, known as Glina Show. The decision was made by the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland. We described it in the article: No One Will Steal Gliniada from Us Anymore!
Thanks to you and your creations, Glina Show delighted Bolesławiec residents and tourists for the fifth time!
In August, once again we took free photographs in the #kochambolesławiec frame and handed out free calendars during the Bolesławiec Ceramic Festival.

You cheered on young homeless Kuba – Rocky from Bolesławiec. Thank you so much for every kind word!
Together with the staff of St. Luke’s Hospital, we promoted the region’s first Obstetric Forum presenting and promoting the latest standards of perinatal care for mothers and newborns. The idea behind the Forum was dialogue with the mother, her partner, and the midwife who cares for the family, supporting it competently and professionally throughout pregnancy and childbirth and during postpartum care.
