Sponsorship programme
Since 2007, we have been giving children at Sir Lowry’s Pass Primary School a better chance for their educational future.
With a sponsorship fee of 110 euros per year, sponsors support not only an individual child but the entire school. Each school year, the children receive all the necessary school supplies, a new school uniform and a birthday present. Uniforms that have become too small are passed on within families – nothing is wasted.
A portion of the donations also funds two assistant teachers, who help to relieve the strain on overcrowded classes and improve teaching.
If additional funds are available, we provide unbureaucratic help wherever urgent support is needed – for example, in cases of acute family emergencies.
The selection of sponsored children is carried out by teachers and the school leadership. In the first year, the children demonstrate that they attend school regularly, make an effort and participate actively.
Since 2016, my friend Sandra Mess has been playing a key role in organising the school sponsorships – on a voluntary basis, of course. She is deeply committed to the cause, and I am very glad to have found such dedicated support in her.
