The refrain of the popular song is running your mind sometimes when thinking about your birthplace.

The beauty of nature and the picturesque nooks of the regions of Slovak Paradise, Slovak Rudohorie or Slovak Karst, cultural and historical values of Krasna Horka, Betliar, history of the villages and other sightseeing, folklore traditions of the region would not let you forget about the times you have spent in this beautiful part of Slovakia. Schools, jobs, higher social values and establishment of family nests have left you in the places out of your birthplace throughout whole Slovakia. You work there in significant positions, in companies, you achieve excellent results or just live without a bigger glory creating values for the welfare of the society. Some of you spend their time on the deserved pension. We, in the region of Horny Gemer, are proud of each person from Roznava, Gemerska Poloma, Stitnik, Plesivec, Slavosovce, Dobsina or Jablonov or natives of any other village of Horny Gemer, the successes of whom we have the chance to hear from. We are sure, that no one from you is ashamed for the fact, that he/she was born and lived at the bottom of mountains of Volovec, Stolica, Prisla, Planina or in the valleys or rivers of Slana and Stitnik. There are moments, events, meetings when people of the region of Horny Gemer have the chance to come together in the planned events or just come across by chance in various unexpected situations. The homeland is being recalled together, the times spent together, the common friends. In the course of the meetings new work and personal contacts are created, time full of comfort and relax is experienced in the circle of close natives with the effort and belief in strengthening the identity of a proud person of Horny Gemer.

In the name of 16 young mentally disturbed citizens of Social care home AMALIA in Roznava in the Kosicka street (former street CA), I would kindly like to ask you, your company, your employer, your family members and circle of close friends with a plea for financial or material support or its mediation in favour of our activities. We hope, that you will decide to carry out this humane act and you will join the list of those donators – benefactors – people of Horny Gemer, who have already helped us: Ing. Boris Kekesi - CEO IBM Slovakia, Ing. Juraj Kasanicky - KASCOPM, Ing. J. Kristak - VB-Leasing, Viera Pavlikova - actress, Ing. P. Tatar - TatraBanka, Belo Hefler - STV Kosice, Ing. Jozef Varga - pensioner, Ing. Robert Spisak - CEO AZC, Ing. Milan Elexa - Celltex-Ivanka pri Dunaji, Ing. Stefan Petergac - CEO a.s. Datalan, Mgr. Stefan Mandzar and wife Ludmila – film director and actress.
We will be honestly proud of the fact, that you, as people of Horny Gemer will help the Social care home outside Bratislava and big towns. Your act of social solidarity will be appreciated in the local newspapers and on this webpage (Gemersky dennik, Gemersko, Informator, teletext of Roznavska TV), on your request we will send you the official application, agreement on grant present and the CERTIFICATE  OF THANKS.
We are convinced, that not only the provided help will be the source of happiness for our “eternal children,” but rather the lasting sincere relationship with the people of a good will – the warm hearted people of Horny Gemer living outside of Roznava - would persist as a permanent value.

 
One of the most attractive and lucrative entrance “gates” to the Slovak metropolis has been named according to our town – Roznavska ulica (Street of Roznava). Significant nationwide joint stock companies, business and shopping centres reside here. AMALIA – Social care house, non-governmental organization REHAMENTA in cooperation with the Municipality of Roznava and Association of towns and villages of Horny Gemer prepared a promoting-beneficiary event with a work name “NATIVES FOR THE CHARITY” in the building of Institute of Education and Services in Bardosova street 33, Bratislava – part Kramare on 26th October 2004. The organizers of the event welcomed the people from the region of Horny Gemer, fans of Roznava and of region of Roznava, who live and work in the capital.
65 natives took part, who were able to find time for the above mentioned date. They were thinking about their homeland in the pleasant environment.
