Let’s start school with equal opportunities!

The Marom Club Association has initiated, for the second time, the international „Social Action Exchange” program, whose goal is to encourage 18-35 year old young adults to become responsible members of society. During this program, the participants become familiar with different areas of social responsibility, and they plan effective, attention- grabbing, and innovative events. For many families, buying necessary school supplies for their children can be a huge burden. With the help of the „Social Action Exchange” program’s volunteer team, we are organizing a school supplies drive for the rising first graders of smaller settlements around the city of Miskolc. Equipped with these basic school supplies, they can start school with equal opportunities. We are both fundraising and collecting school supplies. We are not only collecting new school supplies, but also gently-used backpacks, pencil cases, and anything that could be useful for elementary school children.

These are the school supplies a first grader needs:
Rulers
Colored paper
Scissors
Glue
Drawing pads
Watercolor paints
Regular and colored pencils
Markers
Oil pastels
Paintbrushes
Notebooks
Planners
Erasers
Pencil sharpeners
Backpacks
Pencil cases

Please help these children start off the year strong!

We will be collecting at the entrance of the Gödör Club (in Budapest, in Erzsébet square), on August 27th and 28th, as well as September 3rd and 4th 2011, from 3-9 p.m.
