9th SHOM International Charity Bazaar

In 2008, the Spouses of Heads of Mission (SHOM) organized the first Annual International Charity Bazaar, raising funds for Polish-based charities. Since that beginning, SHOM not only serves as a means of connecting embassies together, but also helping the less fortunate in Poland. The money raised in SHOM Charity Bazaar, thanks to the Patronage of the First Lady of Poland Mrs. Agata Kornhauser-Duda and generous cooperation and donations from Embassies and Sponsors, benefits the elderly, children, women and families in difficult circumstances.

The International Charity Bazaar is SHOM's most significant annual fundraising event.

Last year the International Charity Bazaar was a great successful event with a participation of 60 embassies and about 4000 patrons involved to raise money for charity. Thanks to their generosity we raised more than 460,000 PLN for the benefit of 18 charitable causes.

The 9th International Charity Bazaar will be held on Sunday, 27th November 2016, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Marriott Hotel, Warsaw.

Opening Ceremony at 11:00 am
The Bazaar will be opened by its Patron – The First Lady of Poland
