Forbes.cz | The Kellner Family Foundation Will Carry On, a Trustee Assures
The Foundation may be one of the greatest and most tangible of Petr Kellner’s legacies, the owner of PPF who tragically died in Alaska on 27 March. The billionaire founded The Kellner Family Foundation alongside his wife Renáta. It supports the education of Czech students and, between 2002 and 2020 year, provided CZK 1.6bn in funds towards that purpose.

Doha. Skyscrapers actually scraping the skies, and cranes on them, relentlessly building more and more floors; cultural monuments, which are monumental but, primarily, large; men in suits but also in traditional Arab robes, women in niqabs and burkas, but also without them – Doha, a metropolis of the Arab world, where the sun warms the streets up to over 20 °C even in February. But to explain how in fact I got to Doha in February and how the Educa Foundation helped me in this I have to take you a couple of months and several thousand kilometers back.
