“Plus” school students of Kandel City took advantage of Palatina, Germany Christmas Fair to inform, together with dedicated social teachers about a Bolivian project, Family Student Lodging, and raised funds for their Bolivian peers. Despite of the nasty weather, they sold pastries, waffles and homemade eggnog for almost six hundred dollars that were donated to this Bolivian project.
On a previous occasion, students and teachers participated in an “Open  Door Day”, a traditional school event, with a stand that sold Bolivian  crafts. One of the families donated handmade socks and scarves, which  happy buyers were found. A total of five hundred dollars were raised for  the Family Student Lodging in Bolivia, which facilitate access to peasant  school children in communities scattered in rural areas.

The Village Foundation congratulates and appreciates this kind of solidarity initiatives from our friends out of Bolivia, who support makes this basic universal education right a reality for all in a country so distant.
