The buzz returns to the school supplies shelves in shops, where parents come to buy everything they need for their children who are ready to start school. They glance at the price tags, which seem to be increasing by the day. After waking up from the “mirage” of costs, they let themselves be carried back in time by the specific smell of school supplies and relive the excitement before the start of the new school year.

The same emotions are experienced by many children today, some full of enthusiasm, others… maybe not so much. However, whether excited or not, we know that preparing for the ringing of the first bell of the school year is all about ‘packing the school bag’. This may mean taking your old backpack out of the dust or buying a new one and filling it with a few notebooks, pens and pencils. Of course, there are other things to add, but the list is too long to list here.

We are blessed to be able to provide our children with school-ready backpacks, so how can we remain indifferent and not become a blessing to others? Our association works mainly in Vaslui county, also known as the Poverty Pole of Europe. Poverty has had a negative impact on expert statistics, and the dropout rate in the county is double the national average. And ironically, education is the key to saving children from poverty.

We mention what the experts say, but we also see the reality for ourselves. We will not get carried away with further discussion of the factors that contribute to poverty, because we want to focus our energy on changing the lives of these children. There are many children who want a new backpack to replace the broken or patched one inherited from older siblings. In some cases, this backpack can even replace a bag.

We want to kick off our campaign, called “I want a backpack too! – 2023”, with the aim of ensuring that disadvantaged children will have a new, well-equipped backpack for the new school year. Encourage a child to stay in school!

The project is “out of brief” because our association has recently gone through all the legal formalities and preparations necessary to be exposed to the general public. With confidence and with you, people with a heart for people, we can leave a positive imprint in the lives of children now, before the start of this new school year. A backpack complete with all its necessities is worth about 120 lei and is intended for children between 0 and 8th grade.

Equip a toddler with a backpack!
