The beginning of the new school year is a period where children are very happy because they return to school, meet their peers and teachers and start a new school year. But not for all children this new beginning is equal. Due to poor economic conditions, in most cases, the children of the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities, due to the lack of school bags and materials, cannot rejoice at the beginning of the new school year.
Despite the challenges that these children and their parents face and the education of the new generations, thank you, generous donor, who with your generosity are helping these families, these families are not alone in their journey. Even though the school year starts in September, the generosity of our friends, partners and donors has started earlier in the organization and proper provision of school materials.
In February a group of students from Mara Foundation from the Netherlands visited us at our educational center for 3 days in a row and donated about 40 bags and school material, also in the month of June, Tom, a volunteer from England visited us and brought us school bags from campaign he has in his school to raise funds.
Thanks to you, dear donors, we have distributed about 330 bags together with school material in our educational centers in Fushe Kosove, Janjeve, Gracanice and Obiliq, and all these children were given hope and an even greater motivation to your journey to knowledge
For Elmedina, who is in the 4th grade, this day was very happy for her and her brothers because her parents found it impossible to buy bags for all their children. We are very happy that you donors, are making such a big impact on the communities we are serving.
Donors, thank you so much for all your contributions!
With love,
The Ideas Partnership
