The expression of gratitude for participation in the handover of the model of the Children’s Memorial Health Institute, quoted in full:
“Dear Dr. Metera,
I am really happy that you have accepted the invitation and have taken part in this exceptional celebration. I could not imagine this meeting without you – the initiator and organizer of the Petö method in the Children’s Memorial Health Institute.
It was you who managed to motivate us with the comprehensiveness and functionality of that method, and Marcin Szymczak was one of our first patients. I have to admit that I have been using many elements of Petö method in my own work so far, and I have passed the knowledge about this method to my friends.
Marcin was really surprised and happy to see you here – I know that because I’m staying in contact with him”.
