Campaign for presenting a smile to children in Maxmur and Shengal

This year, members of the Bielefeld Initiative for Peace and Hope in Kurdistan [ Initiative für Frieden und Hoffnung in Kurdistan e.V. ] are once again organizing a collection of donations in kind for children and young people in Maxmur Camp and Shengal [Sinjar]. Unlike last year’s gift drive, the initiative is calling for gifts to be packed in backpacks right away because of the sustainability and additional benefits. Since the transport to South Kurdistan is not easy to cover, a monetary donation of five euros per backpack is requested.

Example backpack contents include new winter clothing, school supplies, dental care, ointments for sores, and candy such as chocolate. Contents should be selected by age groups of 6-10 years, 11-14 years, and 15-18 years.

Those who do not have time to shop or pack a backpack can also send a monetary donation. The initiative will then pack a backpack for a child or teenager for the money.

In addition, the Initiative for Peace and Hope in Kurdistan has been organizing a sponsorship campaign since October 2019 to provide targeted educational support for families. The association is calling for support for the campaign.
