With school sponsorships and self-organized fundraising campaigns, students from Germany help to enable children in Haiti to attend school. They also learn how they can take on responsibility in a globally connected world and support a good cause. In the future, they will also be able to apply these skills to their concerns in Germany. Through the positive experience of helping Haiti, they also learn to participate in their own democracy, reflect on their privileged position and strengthen their social trust.
Would you also like to get involved for peers in Haiti? Wonderful! Maybe your best friend will join in? Or your whole class or your sports group? Together it is always a little easier and even more fun.
Here are a few ideas:
Sponsorship for a school class
Get involved with the whole class and take over the sponsorship for a school class in Haiti! We will be happy to put you in touch so that you can send letters, photos or emails and see exactly what your help is doing.
Donation run in favour of PEN PAPER PEACE
Your school's having a donation run? Collect for access to education and enable children who otherwise could not go to school to learn to read, write and calculate.
Cake or waffle sale during the break
Do you enjoy baking? Whether at the next school party or during the big break: a table is set up quickly. For sure everyone at your school will be happy about hot waffles or homemade cakes.
Tombola at the school festival
Anna, Emma and Tara made a raffle for PEN PAPER PEACE at a school festival. To get exciting prizes for the raffle, they simply wrote to all the companies they thought were cool and asked them for donations. They also asked all parents of the school if they could contribute something. They wrote an email to all the parent representatives and forwarded it to all parents of their class. It was good that they started many weeks before the festival, so they had enough time and everything worked out great.
Play and concert
Another way to raise funds for SCHOOLS FOR HAITI is to organize theatre performances or concerts and donate the entrance fee. Don't forget to show your commitment: with a self-made poster, in the program booklet or a note at the box office.
Flea market
Is it time to clear out and make room for new things? Surely there will be a flea market where you can give other people great pleasure with your old things. Don't forget to draw attention to your commitment on a poster if you donate the proceeds or part of the proceeds to PEN PAPER PEACE.
