OUR NEW PROJECT At our meeting on 18th October 2011 we had a presentation from one of the directors of Zespół Szkól NR1 w Sopocie which is located at ul. Książat Pomorskiek 16-18 in Sopot. This school has over 500 pupils and more than 20% of the children are from underprivileged backgrounds and dysfunctional families. She appealed to our club for assistance in providing these underprivileged children with school meals, text books and winter clothing. The Club immediately decided to assist the school and gave an immediate donation of PLN10,000 to the Parent/Teachers Association to spend the money on these very needy children. The school also needs a media projector which will cost approximately PLN10,000 and we are seeking a sponsor to fund this requirement. |
