Support for Needy Student Families

Under the theme “One Basket per Class” thirty-seven bags of food were collected by the Machico Elementary and Secondary School over the last two weeks.

The aim of the initiative is to create a happier Christmas for students from poorer backgrounds, as well as generate greater solidarity, active citizenship and sharing among the school’s pupils, thus creating a ‘ School with Values!’

Supermarket Pingo Doce also contributed to this worthwhile cause.
