One of the major events of last year was December 1, 2025, when we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the LA VIDA LOCA Foundation in the Spanish Hall of Prague Castle. The evening was dedicated to all those who passionately stand by abandoned children and help them preserve their identity from the very first moments of life through the Life in a Suitcase project. Guests experienced powerful stories, heartfelt emotions, and sincere gratitude.
The atmosphere of the evening was exceptional – an elegant hall, gentle music, and personal stories of the children the foundation supports. Guests had the opportunity to meet volunteers and experts implementing the project and understand how their support directly impacts the lives of children.
Organization of the Evening and the Foundation Team
Special thanks go to the foundation team – Martina Wojtylova Opava, Karolina Kapitánová, and Dominika Bocek – for ensuring the smooth running of the event. Their attention to every detail, from decorations to culinary experiences to the program, created an unforgettable experience for all guests.
The team also ensured that every guest felt personally involved. Discussions and presentations showcased the functioning of the Life in a Suitcase project and its importance for abandoned children, encouraging guests to get involved or support the foundation in the future.
