Amnesty International Studentgroup Teachers Meppel

First of all, we want to thank all of you who contributed with presents! It is amazing how much we collected. It was not easy to manage it in this hard situation, but we all together showed that nothing is impossible, if we believe in ourselves and being together. We collected enough educational gifts for about 100 children in the refugee camp in Balk. Due to the Corona situation, we were not allowed to give presents to children in person.
We want to thank the volunteers and teachers from Balk and ITEps.
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Enjoy the holidays.
