Christmas Action 2021

For this year’s Christmas campaign, we have selected three wonderful projects! We would like to bring them to your attention. The bus action has been running for a while; the school Julian Jimenez and the Heredia sisters are new.

Bus action to transport deaf children to school

With this action we have been working for some time. We use two buses to transport the deaf children, one large and one small. Although the small bus also has the necessary defects, it is now a matter of replacing the big bus. We need about € 42,500 to buy a good second-hand bus. A large amount, fortunately we are already well on our way and Wilde Ganzen supports this action.

The big bus is in need of replacement.

School Julian Jimenez

The Julian Jimenez school is in Nigua, close to the Padre Zegri school in Nigua that we already support. The current principal of Padre Zegri used to be a teacher at Julian Jimenez. The school has over 100 children and employs 4 teachers. The home situation of most of the children is very poor and many parents are illiterate. We are happy to include this school in our program.

Julian Jimenez is in urgent need of teaching aids and learning materials for the children. Furthermore, we are looking for a sponsor or donor for about 15 children.

Lower class children wait to wash their hands.

The Martinez Heredia sisters

Sisters Julia and Julissa Martinez Heredia have finished high school and are eager to study. The two young women are highly motivated and look forward to continuing their education at University. Unfortunately, they lack the financial resources to pay for their studies. Their father died long ago, their mother barely earns enough to meet the basic needs of the family. The cost of study for the two girls together is about €150 per month.
