Thanks to the wonderful generosity of Castelo de Sonhos “Back to School” supporters, this family charity has been able to distribute 90 filled backpacks to disadvantaged children within the Silves area.
This project started nearly 20 years ago and 2024 marks a RECORD number of children helped.
Each backpack was filled with all the school materials needed for the start of the new term.
Very special thanks go to the following :
• Peace & Harmony Masonic Lodge
• Kristen & Patricia from “Need a Charity for All”
• Members of Silves Rotary Club
• The Lagoa Rotary Club
• The Monchique Golf Club
• Charles & Maggie (for fund-raising)
• Clube de Caminhada Algarve
• DEKA (German Speaking Lutheran Church)
• Mango’s Golf Society Carvoeiro
• Nada Offner (poster design & publicity)
And of course thanks go to all the kind members of the public who donated school materials.
As you can see from the photo above, the children were delighted to receive their filled, colourful backpacks.
