The organizers of the first-ever Romani Charity Ball, held in mid-March in Ústí nad Labem, presented the proceeds of their event, CZK 30 000, to the head physicians at the children’s oncology and children’s surgery wards of Masaryk Hospital in Ústí nad Labem. Organizers announced the donation on their Facebook page today. 

"We were told that this is the largest one-time gift that anyone has given them in recent years. The hospital will use the money to buy a modern resuscitation unit for children with leukemia," the organizers said.  

The head physician said such units are priceless aids to their work. "We firmly believe we have helped the right place and perhaps even some of our own children in future, because you never know what might happen," organizers posted to their Facebook page.
