00:00 FANPAGE
00:02 FANPAGE was created 5,5 years ago.
00:05 It was a kind of situation.
00:08 I was bored at work. It was the last day before Easter break.
00:12 I decided that I have to create a FANPAGE with this name.
00:16 The idea was that I will probably get bored in 3 days
00:20 and this FANPAGE will not be run anymore.
00:24 Of course, it turned out that 2 hours after the creation of FANPAGE
00:28 the first information was that it was on the Dominican highway and a tram was running.
00:32 It was the year 2018, the end of March.
00:36 Then, when various events in Wrocław,
00:40 especially the running of the tram, became very media.
00:44 This problem began to grow very quickly, logarithmically.
00:48 So FANPAGE came to a very substantial ground.
00:52 Especially that MPK Wrocław did not inform much about the difficulties in traffic.
00:58 A community was created, people who began to inform each other
01:04 how and whether they will get from point A to point B in Wrocław.
01:10 To be honest, I did not expect that FANPAGE would live so long
01:16 and that it would be so difficult to run.
01:20 I did not expect that it would live so long and that it would reach the size it has now.
01:24 The goal of the group of correspondents of MPK Wrocław was
01:28 to inform people about the difficulties on the route.
01:32 Anyway, when I was still working stationary, I was working at Grunwaldzki Square,
01:38 then at Legnicka Street, at the famous Mordor.
01:44 I used the group to know if I would get there without any problems
01:50 or if I could sleep for half an hour before the difficulties in the city ended.
01:56 Of course, 95% of the things in the case of FANPAGE are spontaneous
02:02 and decisions made in a way that is not thought through,
02:08 but spontaneous, often "yolo".
02:12 And once someone wrote in the comments that it would be worth making postcards
02:16 with photos of the trams.
02:20 Someone else also secured a calendar and I thought that the idea of a calendar
02:24 is quite cool because it is a practical gadget.
02:28 And I also wrote in the comment that if we are going to make a calendar,
02:34 it must be all the income is intended for charitable purposes.
02:38 And I think it went quite well because we already have the fifth edition of this calendar.
02:44 The contributions are sold out year-on-year either in full or in the worst case in 90-odd percent,
02:52 so you manage to collect quite a lot of money for animal welfare every year.
02:58 This year, for the second time in a row, we are collecting money for the Matuzalka Foundation,
03:04 which supports dogs, mainly in the geriatric age and in the palliative states,
03:10 that is, those dogs that have the least chance of finding a home permanently.
03:16 Often these are dogs taken from the intervention or even thrown to Matuzalkowa.
03:24 So the mission of Miron and Eli, who run Matuzalkowa,
03:30 is to help those animals that no one wants to help anymore.
03:34 Every year, some funny correspondent sends calendars to MPK Wrocław.
03:40 Once it even happened that when I went to the office to work,
03:44 I got a question from some woman from the trade department,
03:48 "Can you give my data to MPK Wrocław?"
03:52 I was surprised what was going on, so I asked myself in MPK
03:56 what they need from me in this particular situation.
04:00 It turned out that they wanted to send their calendar in return, because they thought I was sending it.
04:04 But I always assumed that this is a charity publishing house,
04:08 there are no free pieces, so if MPK would like their calendar,
04:12 they can buy it for themselves.
04:16 If someone bought it and sent it to the mayor,
04:20 it's still money for the animals, so it's a good idea.
04:28 But I didn't get any feedback from Mr. Jacek Sutryk
04:32 about whether the calendar was OK.
