Project: "Children help children"

Activities of the elementary school in Schwanenstadt on the occasion of its 100 year anniversary

In early July, FriendCircle WorldHelp once more got a pleasant surprise by a substantial donation from Schwanenstadt, Austria. The local elementary school with its students and teachers is a longtime supporter of our projects. Many thanks and warm greetings to Upper Austria!!
Below you will find the report we have received from the dear friends:

"The elementary school of Schwanenstadt decided to celebrate its 100-year anniversary with a theater performance, an open day with open classrooms, an open-air concert, a historical exhibition in the museum next door, an exhibition of children’s work throughout the school building, a ceremony in the evening and the social project „Children help children“ in favor of FriendCircle WorldHelp. We trust their volunteers and know that every donated cent reaches the poorest of the poor.
We started with the preparations one year ago, built expert teams and set to work. In February, we offered workshops to the children of the 3rd and 4th grade to produce felt flowers, bath salts, pendants of clay, glass bead strings, jewelry boxes and lavender bags and decorate flower pots from tin cans by decoupage. In the following months teachers and parents grew plants for the cachepots.
Some children attended one, two or even three workshops. They had great joy in this work and were happy to be able to contribute to the support of needy children. „But I also want to do something for the poor children, “a boy protested, whom we had not trusted to work for two hours in a group of children he did not know.

From the celebration day on June 16, 2016 until the end of school our attractive shop was open. Our guests as well as students and teachers kept shopping so that we were able to hand over a princely amount for your work.

We thank you with all our heart for doing this work in loving devotion!
Heartfelt greetings from Schwanenstadt in Upper Austria!"
