“We came to Odessa to celebrate the 225 anniversary of the founding of Odessa. But as you know, a birthday without gifts do not come. And our gift is special, it represents the culture of Poland. This cartoon penguin grew more than one generation of young poles”, – said Fazekas.

It is noted that the Peak Pok fosters in children an interest in the world and the environment. Symbolizes the values that lie at the basis of friendship Lodz and Odessa.
