The Bridge of Friendship Sweden-Lithuania

We are happy about the warm relationship with Mr. Bengt Nilsson that budded in 2007. He cheered our Captains up by Christmas gifts, organized the trip to The Feast of Joy in Sweden for Lithuanian children and proved that true sincerity, love and care does not know geographical, traditional and cultural differences.

The Joy that Heals
A Swedish man who organizes spectacular feasts for children with cancer is eager about helping Lithuanian children as well. Introducing himself, Mr. Bengt Nilsson gives me a warm smile. They call me a wacky farmer, the man admits right away. The good deeds this man does amaze even worldly-wise Swedish citizens. Without any reward, at his own homestead, Mr. Bengt Nilsson holds spectacular feasts for children with cancer, bringing joy and hope to their hearts.

Our hearts are filled with joy – the circle of Rugutė‘s friends is expanding both in Lithuania and abroad. The bridges of friendship built between Lithuania and Japan, Turkey, France, U.S.A. and Sweden prove that people‘s kindness and care knows no borders.
