The joint stock company HOCHTIEF CZ is today launching the second run of their project for the children’s homes and social welfare institutions called My dream day.

The children’s homes and social welfare institutions from all the regions will be addressed with an offer to let their wards send their pictures in the theme of a Fairytale house“. That is how this year’s project My dream day will start today, April 3rd, with its conclusion on June 18th 2008. After this date the jury consisting of personages of the cultural world and company representatives will judge the received works and select the best of them. The jury will choose 15 children – authors of the pictures, who will be awarded the chance to spend a day according to their wishes. The children can choose the program in several themes; small children will be accompanied by an adult. Trips will take place during holidays not to miss school. Part of the prize is also a purchase of a dream item in the value of five thousand crowns.

One hundred and two children’s homes and social welfare institutions participated in the last year’s project with 786 pictures. The children sent their artworks full of fantasy and emotion, revealing their most inner wishes and feelings.

“My dream house is a devils mill, which can fulfil all my wishes.” Lukáš S., 12 years

“My dream home is a pace in the world safe as the tortoise shell.”  Anna P., 14 years

“I would like to have a house as a flying bed, so I can comfortably travel around the world.”  Veronika R., 16 years

“I drew this picture, because I would like to become a pixie and live in a mushroom house.” Marek H., 10 years

Again this year the company is expecting considerable interest from the children sending their pictures. „With the project we are trying to support creativity in children. We do not dismiss any creative technique or expression of thoughts and feelings,” the General Director of the joint-stock company HOCHTIEF CZ said about the project. “I was surprised last year by the interest of the children in drawing the pictures.  And the enjoyment of the winners who got chance to come with us and the figures from the world of culture to the trips they had chosen. I am convinced that the finances invested this way are well spent.”

The joint-stock company HOCHTIEF CZ implements its sponsoring activities in three areas: in architecture, through the architectonic competition Petr Parléř Award, in music with Ema Destinová Music Festival and by project called My dream day HOCHTIEF CZ supports social and humanitarian area.
