The Marist School of León will finance 131 scholarships in Honduras, El Salvador and Zambia

The Marist School San José, León – Spain, of the Province of Compostela, has managed to raise more than 19,000 euros which will be used to finance 131 school scholarships for the benefit of children in Honduras, El Salvador and Zambia.

The initial objective was to finance 60 schoolchildren in a week of solidarity, but the joint work of the people involved doubled expectations. “We started this challenge with uncertainty about the results. We had never planned a Crowdfunding campaign, the activities had always been face-to-face… but it has turned out to be a success and this success belongs to the entire educational community of Maristas San José,” reads the school’s website.

The Solidarity Team of the Marist School is grateful for the collaboration of all the students and their families, school staff, collaborating companies, the foundation “My grain of sand”, volunteers who gave their testimony in the tutorials and the NGO SED.
