Slovak President Andrej Kiska took part in a ceremony on Wednesday entitled 'Child Deed of the Year 2016'. In the 'Saving Life' category, Samuel Bezák of Bardejov (Prešov region) was awarded for saving the life of his grandfather, who was attacked and stabbed with a knife.
In a category called 'Helping people', 16-year old Lea Košíková of Chynorany in the western Trenčín region was awarded for her helping a homeless person. Lea regularly gave the homeless some of her pocket money, thanks to which a 30-year-old named Marek managed to save enough to buy a one-way ticket to London. In the UK he found a job and accommodation and gave all the borrowed money back to Lea.
President Kiska also met with a group of one hundred children from children's homes at the Presidential Palace in Bratislava.
