Marcel, Gdansk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know i have mentioned many times that i love Poland, especially Gdansk. And not only the city, the people that i met there, those that made me better person, the people who believed in me…well this is a prove why is that. Marcel is a participant in Foundation \u201cSprawni Inaczej\u201d in Gdansk, the place where i have been working as a volunteer as well. The place that taught me to make greetings cards, place where i worked with Marcel and his friends together, so you may see the recembleses, or more, the love that are made with. Marcel knows that i like handmade cards and that i love postcards as well, but when he learned that i have a blog, he was happy to support the idea and share with me and you his work of cards collection during the last 17 years \ud83d\ude2e That is a very long time, full of very beautiful cards made by himself and his friends from the Foundation.
I am more than happy to show you his art of postcards and i believe you will enjoy as well.
In addition i will copy you his letter that he wrote for the blog, so you will learn more about his dedication of this miraculous collection.
I just hope we will see more of his cards in the future \ud83e\udd17\u2764

“My collection of occasional hand-made postcards, which I have been collecting it for 17 years, includes 1000 unique cards. It fits into two large albums. They contain cards made in various techniques by my friends with disabilities from different workshops run by the Foundation \u201cSprawni Inaczej\u201d (Gda\u0144sk, Poland). I was buying those postcards or I got it during open days and  special fairs, usually before Christmas and Easter. At that time a lot of people were coming: parents, friends and random passers-by admired and bought cards in which my wonderful and cheerful colleagues put their work and ideas.
This collection includes cards with colorful butterflies and flowers, Easter eggs, lambs, roosters, hares and elephants. There are also cards with dried leaves and flowers. There are Christmas cards with balls, stars, baubles, reindeer, snowmen, Santa Clauses and various Christmas trees; there are also Valentine’s Day cards and postcards with greetings from Gda\u0144sk.
No pattern repeats itself. You will not see miracles so beautifully made by the hands of disabled people anywhere in the world but here.

I want to show at least a part of my collection, so that while watching them you will appreciate the people who create the most beautiful things all year round, with their own efforts \u2013 with the help of caregivers and volunteers.
