Slovak folklore, sweet goodnesses and pleasant atmosphere – also such was the traditional meeting of the slovak housewives living in Hungary. At this year’s 11th year of Slovak housewives 2009 at the Slovak Embassy in Budapest on 7th March 2009 also partcipated the slovak First Lady Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová who visited our countrywomen for the fourth time.
Mrs. Gašparovičová with Slovak Ambassador in Budapest Juraj Migaš firstly opened an exhibition of cakes and then they discussed with countrywomen about problems that worry them. "We are talking in particular about what it would be good to improve in the situation of the slovak minority in Hungary. This year´s participants informed me that there are very few lessons in the Slovak language at schools. Four hours a week is very little to children that learn the Slovak language. I promised them to help in this matter, because already in the past I was able to help in the broadcasting sector."
Slovak Ambassador in Hungary Mrs. Eva Mitrová began 11 years ago to organize this event. As the President of the Association of Slovaks in Hungary Mrs. Egyedová-Baráneková said, "since than we meet here every year. I think that women have a very important role in sustaining of slovak traditions in the kitchen, but also of cultural habits, language, or raising children." Also this year there were awards for best housewives. Satisfaction had also Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová. As she said, "I am always pleased when I see typical slovak cakes on the table in Budapest. At this opportunity I not only see but also I taste cakes and desserts baked by women living for many years in Hungary who perform the slovak culinary art."
At this event participated over 50 housewives who arrived from different parts of Hungary: form Békéšska Čaba, Szarvas, Pest and Komárom-Esztergom county, from Novohrad, Komlóš, Zemplín and Borsod region. |
