All summer experiences are especially valuable for orphaned and semi-orphaned children and for families who suffered heavy losses in the epidemic.

This year too, the István Regőczi Foundation for the Orphans of the Corona Virus is helping its beneficiaries with vacation opportunities and school start contributions.

In its announcement sent to MTI, the foundation wrote,

this year they also tried to provide as many leisure programs, rest and camping opportunities as possible to the children supported by the foundation and their relatives.

They drew attention to the fact that all summer experiences are especially valuable for families who suffered heavy losses in the epidemic.

According to the foundation's information, orphaned and semi-orphaned children had the opportunity to relax with their peers separately or together with their family members. Thanks to the Familiare Social Organization Foundation, 113 people took part in a family vacation in Siófok, and thanks to the Erzsébet Foundation, 120 people were able to rest in Zánká in the Family Erzsébet camps.

Thanks to the offer of the Johannita Helping Service, the Danube Fishing Association of Ráckeve, and Karola Orbán, a total of 42 young people were able to spend a week in Terény, Ráckeve, and Transylvania, respectively. They pointed out: the shared experiences helped them escape from everyday life, the young people could go on vacation in a contemporary community of people with similar problems, leaving the difficulties a little behind them.

As written,

in addition to the programs, the foundation tries to ease the burdens of families with a holiday grant in June and a contribution for starting school in August. During these days, 1,214 children receive, depending on their financial situation, a one-time school start grant of HUF 30,000 or HUF 50,000.
