ABOUT THE NAME: „CSUDIJÓ”

What does the word „CSUDIJÓ” mean? Hungarian pronunciation: tʃudijɔː You can not find this word in the Hungarian dictionary. The whole word (CSUDIJÓ) is a nice, folksy version of the word „csodajó” that can be translate as ’wonderfully good’. The last part of the word (DIJÓ) sounds the same as the Hungarian word for nut, „dió”.

ABOUT THE HOUSE

A long-time-dream of ours came true the moment when we got the hundred-year-old farmhouse. In the same moment we felt that we want to share this wonder with others. We sat in the garden many-many times seeing the long white veranda, the worn-down green doors and windows, and we felt as if we were on a voyage back to he time. These times we were thinking with our friends and we were sure what we wanted to do: to give love and help. This was how the old house and the nutgarden became the area for the community of the Union „Csudijó”.

​ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

The first time we talked about the children, our children, we knew we had a common journey. Through many-many evenings, funny talks, wine, cakes, honest confessions of problems …. shaped as a love … and we knew, we felt it must have gone on. We confided our most important, inmost feelings, thoughts to each other. We connected. We created ideas. And a few years later, the thing you’re standing in front of was born: a community of small and tall ones, good and not-so-good ones, accepted and less-accepted ones, the equally imperfect community, called „Csudijó”.
