The campaign 60x60 plus: Mathematically talented pioneer of ecological lifestyle

The first heroine of the project is my aunt Frania (Franciszka Łapińska) - I took her picture with my first camera over 60 years ago, in my hometown Łapy. Aunt Frania was a person gifted in mathematics; she was not given the opportunity for a formal career. However, she was able to share her talent interestingly with those around her.

During a reminiscence dinner dedicated to aunt Frania, my childhood friend Henia asked me: Do you know that aunt Frania helped many children in the neighborhood to solve math problems, especially the more difficult equations with one blind?

I didn't know that detail, but I'm so glad I did. Her passion for teaching, pursued for many years, also in her old age, deserves to be commemorated, which I hereby do.In picture aunt Frania is preparing brushwood collected in the garden to heat the apartment, today we would say:

What an eco-friendly attitude! Even 60 years ago, aunt Frania was a woman who cared for the environment with great concern.
