The Rugutė Charitable Foundation is delighted that the Sweden-Lithuania Friendship Bridge continues. After sending a busload of Christmas presents to Lithuanian patients in the autumn, Bengt Nilsson, together with his family, a policeman and a paediatrician, arrived in Lithuania on 7 August.
During their visit to the Onco-haematology Department of Vilnius University Children's Hospital, the guests toured the hospital, visited the patients, and together with the doctors discussed the prospects for further cooperation.
Bengt Nilsson also visited Rugutė's House, got acquainted with the project, and offered ideas on how he could contribute to its further development. During the visit, they also discussed the details of the participation of the Lithuanian patients in the "Joy Festival" in Sweden on 28 September this year.
We would like to thank Bengt Nilsson for this visit, for her sincere interest in the little patients, for once again extending a hand of kindness, and for strengthening our friendship.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to S. Stankevičienė, Head of the Oncohaematology Department at VULV, and to all the staff for their kind welcome.
We are grateful to Jone Šeštakauskaitė for mediating with our Swedish friends.
