The concept of organising a charity bazaar was initiated by Mrs. Dagmar Havlov\u00e1 six years ago. The main objective of this event is to provide Czech non-profit organisations a chance to present their work under one roof, and thereby support mutual contact and cooperation. Non-profit organisations will donate the proceeds from sales of their products to the accounts of their projects.<\/p>\n
