József Farkas P. was celebrated on his birthday by his loved ones in the Wojtyla soup kitchen
József Farkas P., founder-director celebrated his birthday in the circle of his supported, his colleagues, volunteers and several supporters. He feelingly accepted the handshaking of his colleagues, the kisses of the ladies, the hugs of the friends and the kind present that was given to him with a yellow rose with the present of the ones in need which they hid in a decorated box, as he has seen to their daily food and their spiritual and cultural development for twelve years now. The celebrated birthday man was touched by the gesture of his supported ones, and he danced with them in the canteen of the soup kitchen, while Pál Szénási played the music for them. Perhaps the lines of John’s gospel fit most the feeling of this day: ”Nobody loves more than the one who gives his life for his friends.”
