The gathered guests were welcomed by Bishop Witold Mroziewski and the President of the foundation Mariusz Sniarowski with the Director of the Polish School Waldemar Rakowicz, who also serves as a director of the foundation. This sunny afternoon had begun with a performance of a very talented band GAUDETE directed by Ewa Gindorowicz. The performers were greeted with thunderous applause from the children. Everyone was delighted with beautiful costumes, arrangements and great gadgets. Together with the Gaudete music repertoire, we went on a trip around the world. At the festival also made appearance Motorcycle MC Clubs from New York, who donated funds to help children in need. They entered the schoolyard with their Harleys and everyone could take photos of their motorbikes.

The participants of the festival could also admire the wonderful performance of Natalie Bar and Laura Such, who daringly recited the poem of Jan Brzechwa "Sojka". The children were prepared for the performance by Maria Paluch from the School of Polish Language and Culture St. John Paul II in Maspeth.
