Worth Ironing A Shirt For

This year Xpatloop.com, one of Hungary's leading English language portals, held their annual charity party at the Peppers Grill in the Marriott Hotel. This year, donations went to the Piros Orr (Red Nose/Hospital Clown) Foundation. <!-- pagebreak -->xpatloopThe Foundation is convinced, that a peaceful soul and a laugh will greatly contribute to the healing process of sick persons. The clowndoctors, who are professional clowns and further trained by artists and psychologists, visit thousands of sick children in the paediatric wards of hospital. The food from the Peppers Grill was excellent, especially the selection of cheeses and the ravioli stuffed with pumpkin. Xpatloop also arranged a huge number of sponsors for raffle prizes, including 500g of Treehugger Dan's 100% arabica organic Fair Trade coffee beanns. The evening was very pleasant, with good food, a good mix of people, excellent networking opportunities, and it all went to a good cause. It was even worth ironing a shirt for.
