“I can tell you that I have spent more than half of my life as a Csányi programme participant. It has become part of my everyday life and it has been so natural for me to be a member of the Foundation so far that I can’t quite believe it’s coming to an end. In a way, the Csányis era has come to an end with my graduation and it would be hard to sum up how much I owe to the programme. Besides the classes, the language exam, the trips and of course the friends, I could list a lot of things, but the most important thing is that I belong to a community. It is a great treasure to be part of such a large, yet cohesive community. Unlike school, these 13+ years have brought the group together in such a way that it is almost like a second family. We have shared the best and the saddest moments together, and whatever difficulties we have faced or mistakes we have made, the Foundation has never let go. I would like to thank the founder, Dr. Sándor Csányi and his family for their effort and will to help and will continue to help children who deserve and need it. I would like to thank Dr. Miklós Radoszáv for the amazing job he has done in managing such a large program to the best of his ability and for sticking with me through the ups and downs and monitoring my progress. Finally, I would like to thank my mentor for everything. It would be an almost impossible task to collect all the things I have to be grateful for. I can safely say that no one has taken this commitment more seriously than her, and no one has sacrificed as much for her group as she has. All in all, although an era of Csányis life is coming to an end, I do not want to let go of the Foundation and I hope to continue to be part of this great community in some way.”
