We are

Good Fairies

For the sixth year in a row, we have been helping more than a hundred children from four Central Bohemian children’s homes. We meet them every week, so we already know the story of each of them. We know their hobbies, joys and sorrows. We give them our time, love and attention, which they need far more than toys.

What We Do

So far, we have four children’s homes under our wings, which we visit regularly and for which we organise leisure activities. Every Tuesday we go to the children’s home in Mladá Boleslav, every Wednesday to the children’s home in Nové Strašecí and every Thursday to the children’s home in Krnsko. All the children take part in our weekend events or go to our summer camps. We have recently established cooperation with the children’s home in Dolní Počernice, where we go to see the children for regular tutoring.

Why am I a fairy? Because being a fairy is a mission. It is my new way of life, on which I still meet great and positive people. It also means constantly leaving the comfort zone, which sometimes hurts, but brings great personal development. And most importantly, I have a lot of wonderful children around me, whom I can help and at the same time be inspired by them.

It is practically impossible to summarise in three sentences what the Fairies mean to me. It's my second big family. From an early age, I dreamt of helping children. And that came true for me thanks to Good Fairies. In addition, the Fairies are helping me. Now I know for sure what my mission is and in which direction I want to go in my life. Spontaneous laughter and joy in children's eyes are simply the most. Fairies are real, permanent and unconditional friends. This is friendship forever. 😊

The Good Fairies gave me the opportunity to spend time meaningfully. I look forward to every week. They also gave me great friends, new experiences and the opportunity to try and experience a lot of things. Every time I leave the children's home happy and with a smile on my face, because time with children and Fairies is the best way for me to relax and forget about all worries.

Originally, I just wanted to help Good Fairies to organise the auction. After that maybe also a charity run. Without much contact with children. And it already was a great feeling. Then we came up with a charity calendar. But… in order to take the pictures for the calendar, I had to go to the children and that's how it happened… You go once and you're in it! That huge sincere need for love will not let you go back.

When adults suffer in life, it's sad. But when children suffer, it is unfair and it is unforgivable, so when I came across Good Fairies, I became one of them. And if we fairies help at least a few children see the light again, it's worth it.

The most common question I hear is why I joined Good Fairies. I never know what to answer, because I just have no idea what led me to it. But what I do know is that thanks to Good Fairies, my life has become many times richer. Being in the presence of so many great people who do the absolute maximum for children's joy and the future is simply amazing.

I have been trying to spend my free time with children for a few years now, they motivate me to be better, I enjoy it and it gives me energy. But with Good Fairies, it's different - even better. Good fairies take care of children regularly, with great interest and love. Their work changes lives. I'm glad I can be a part of it.

We all know that helping is right, but we often do not know how to do it. I was the same. When I found out that Good Fairies pay attention to children from children’s homes by giving them the most valuable - attention and time, I decided from day to day that if they took me as a volunteer, I would go to camp with them. At the camp, I found out that helping is often more enjoyable than receiving help and it makes me happier.

Become a Fairy

We are happy to welcome new enthusiastic volunteers with a sense of fun, friendship, a big heart and a clean criminal record to our team. If you meet these conditions, then we will be very happy if you contact us. Together we can give love and joy to more children.

What it means to be a fairy?
Our goal and desire are to show children that someone is interested in them and that someone is interested in what they think, what they do and how they feel. How do we do that?● Regular visits in children's homes - We spend time with the children - We talk to them - We play games with them - We help them prepare for school and tutor them - We play sports with them - We help them in difficult life situations - We support them (prepare for the interview, etc.)
● Irregular events - We organise sports, cultural and social activities for children - We organise summer camps and weekend stays outside the children's home - We offer leisure activities - We provide material assistance
What do I need to become a fairy?
● Interest in other people and empathy● Sense of humour● Desire to dedicate your time to children● Age over 18 or legal consent● Clean criminal record● NO professional training is required, although experts from all sectors are welcome● Willingness to long-term cooperation
How much time it takes me to be a fairy?
Some fairies go to see the children regularly every week and it takes 4 hours. Other fairies only go to the camp with us or they go to the children’s home once a week for 1-2 hours. It depends on your time possibilities. However, it is very important for children to have the most regular contact possible so that they can form a relationship with the fairy.
