Activities
financial help
From 2010 to the present, Blythswood Association has contributed funds towards the construction of the new school building and volunteer centre, and has also been involved in raising funds to cover the running costs of the school, including uniform, textbooks and lunch for children (a cup of porridge), but also the teachers’ salary.
donations
Within this partnership, we organise teams of volunteers (who participate in construction, teach in school, or participate in various other activities), animals have been purchased and donated for the Sargy Widows Self-help Group, we have provided mosquito nets to protect disadvantaged families against diseases transmitted by insects, and we help young people with the payment of high school fees and, from 2022, with the support of Hungary Helps, we manage to cover the university fees of 9 students.
