BALASSI SUMMER UNIVERSITY PROGRAM

The scholarship is intended for individuals of Hungarian descent living
outside of Hungary (specifically: North-America, South-America, Australia,
New Zealand), who wish to improve their command of Hungarian language and

The goal of the scholarship is to improve the Hungarian language skills and

Young people of Hungarian descent, who are 18 years old or older, and who

culture. At the end of the program they will take an oral and a written
exam.

For those students who wish to apply for credits at their Universities, the
Balassi Institute provides detailed course descriptions.

Class attendance is compulsory. Should a participant miss classes without
cause, or violate the Institute's Study and Exam rules or Disciplinary
Guidelines, the individual will lose the right to continue in the program
and the right to reside in the Institute's residence. The individual will
have to pay back the scholarship received up to that date.

[Unicum] 4/19/2013 - Invitation: 8th Annual Hungarian Charity Ball

The 8th Annual Hungarian Charity Ball: April 19, 2013, Washington, D.C.

BUY TICKETS ONLINE! http://www.americanhungarianfederation.org/news_AHF_Hungarian_Ball_2013-04-19.html

 

01/29/2013 - The Annual Hungarian Charity Ball raises funds for worthy causes... The American Hungarian Federation and the Hungarian Scouts of Washington sponsor the Jótékonysági Est (Benefit Event) to support educational and charitable programs. This year's event returns to the Sheraton Premiere at Tyson's Corner:
8661 Leesburg Pike, Vienna, VA 22182.

This year we plan to contribute funds toward the purchase of diagnostic equipment to support the Lung Ward of Trebišov Hospital (Tőketerebes Állami Kórház Tüdőosztály) in Eastern Slovakia (in former Upper Hungary). The Lung Ward treats numerous patients who contracted lung cancer or other lung-related diseases, following the Chernobyl disaster. Our support will help the continued operation of this facility.

In addition, we will support this year's Smithsonian Folklife Festival. The Festival's theme will be "Hungarian Heritage - Roots to Revival" and will feature a wide spectrum of activities from Hungarian folk crafts to dance and music from various Hungarian communities, including Transylvania. The Festival takes place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. from June 26 to July 7. This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase our heritage and presence in the Carpathian Basin. Designer Dénes Kaszta created the beautiful festival logo seen here (based on a 1930s photo of the peacock façade decoration of a house from Kalotaszeg). Ágnes Fülemile, Director of the Balassi Institute - Hungarian Cultural Center in New York is working closely with the Hungarian Embassy, AHF and the Hungarian-American community to raise funds to make this incredible event a success. THIS TAKES MONEY! Please support us and also volunteer!

The site of the Hungary Program on the Mall was recently approved. It will be the area on the side closest to the Capitol with a nice open view to the Capitol building. The area has lots of advantages. Being closest to the Smithsonian Palace, most probably the Opening Ceremony of the Festival will be held at the main stage of the Hungary Program. As you can see in the plans here, this is an ambitious program that needs our financial support and many volunteers! [read more about Smithsonian Folk Life Festival].

IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND, PLEASE DONATE!

Nagyon szepen koszonom!

Wagner Krisztina
==============================================
Dear Everyone:

I'd like to borrow--better yet purchase from you--the English translation of Ferenc Molnar's play "THE GUARDSMAN". I need that urgently.  I also need, although not urgently, the original Hungarian version.

It would be even better if it were in an anthology of several Molnar plays.

Thank you very much!

News quickly spreads of the murder of a Romany family in a Hungarian village. The perpetrators have escaped and nobody claims to know who might have committed the crime. For another Romany family living closeby, the murder only serves to confirm their fears. Far away in Canada, the head of the family decides that his wife, children and their grandfather must join him as soon as possible. Feeling abandoned, the family tries to get through the day after the attack - yet their hopes of escaping the madness proves illusory. The film is loosely based on an actual series of killings in Hungary that claimed the lives of eight Romany people in less than a year.
