The OHF passed a carriage to patients in the Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital

In the framework of the grant program Senior the Committee of Good Will - Olga Havel Foundation contributed to the project "A carriage for patients in the Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital".

A barrier-free carriage opens a new possibility of hypnotherapy to less mobile patients – e.g. seniors who depend on a wheelchair. "We believe that the activity with a horse and a change of surroundings will distract patients from the hospital stereotype, free them from thinking about their diagnosis, bring them joy, relaxation and rest in nature and put them in a good mood," representatives of the hospital wrote to the Foundation. Passing of the carriage was held within the harvest home on a farm belonging to Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital, during which a carriage test drive took place, too. The representatives of the Foundation then donated a photograph that shows Olga Havel passing the first horse suitable for hypnotherapy to the hospital in 1992.

„We wish that the right for dignified life is also enjoyed by those who live with handicap or mental illness, abandoned and old people, those who have a different skin colour or a different way of life, those in poverty or attacked by a malignant disease.“ Olga Havel
