Children's Party organized by SAMU in Palhoça.

October 12, the date on which Children's Day is celebrated, was more than special for the little people of Palhoça, in 2017. community in the Nova Palhoça region, where the SAMU headquarters are located. In fact, the party took place right on the outskirts of the headquarters. It was a Thursday when the fun rewarded all the efforts of the organizers.

Place where the event took place: in front of the SAMU headquarters in Palhoça. 

For everything to work out, it took a lot of commitment and solidarity. In addition to the business supporters in the region, who donated from food, to toys for the children, and even a bicycle for a raffle to be held, the employees of the local SAMU guild also gave as much effort as possible. And such commitment was shared, above all, by the family members of the employees involved in the cause - these who worked voluntarily to make the event fully successful.  

Children and family enjoyed the party. The kids played a lot with the toys assembled there. 

There was no shortage of fun and games: in addition to the local community park, which had been voluntarily revitalized by SAMU employees, there were also plenty of fun attractions – the traditional bouncy castle and ball pit ensured that the children were even more excited. The rainy weather didn't spoil the fun at all. And so that the fun wouldn't stop after the party, toys were finally distributed to the children present. Moreover, the fun came in a different and very educational way: some of the employees organized a very special lesson on first-aid procedures. Those present observed the entire process attentively. A very cool and educational way to teach the rescue process in emergencies.

A very special lesson: small class organized for children to understand the emergency rescue process.

And of course, there were plenty of treats that children love: popcorn, soda, hot dogs, candy, and lollipops were handed out, and sweet smiles appeared on the children's faces. Furthermore, the leftover food at the end of the event will be donated to charities. In fact, parents and children smiled, knowing that everything had been done with great care and determination.

The event was a success, non-profit, and without state aid. Those involved captivated and were captivated by the young and old souls, by the small and big smiles that enjoyed the party – perhaps the first of many, a rewarding social experiment.
