CHARITY COLLECTING SCHOOL EQUIPMENT FOR NEEDY CHILDREN

 

The Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta has launched a campaign to invite donations of school equipment for children in poor families, the organisation told MTI on Wednesday. Between Wednesday and Saturday, volunteers of the charity will receive pens, exercise books, pencil cases, school bags and other equipment at their stands set up at Interspar supermarkets, where those accessories can be purchased, their statement said. The volunteers will sort the donations into packages and send them locally to needy children before the start of the school year, the statement said. Interspar also offers vouchers between 500 and 10,000 forints (EUR 1.30-26) that can be donated, the statement added. For details of the campaign visit the website www.adniorom.hu
