We sent a total of 47 parcels<\/strong> to Doria in Brody<\/strong> for the displaced families<\/strong> there. In June, we requested clothes for 30 children there and your response was so effective that we were able to send clothes and shoes <\/strong>for around 40 children<\/strong> in the end. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Special thanks to the families of Unica Idiomas for your fantastic response to this request.<\/strong> The children in Brody loved the clothes they received!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doria are very active with crafts so we were also able to send stationery and art materials<\/strong> to Brody for the students to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
