The ‘Learning by Helping’ project is intended for all primary school children in Novara. Constant contact with the school system, which drives every initiative of the Lucrezia Tangorra Onlus Foundation, through school principals and building coordinators, revealed a growing difficulty or inability for some families to purchase basic school supplies for their children. The project was created to offer a small helping hand to all these families. Started last year, the Lucrezia Tangorra Foundation committed to providing all comprehensive school institutes (Istituti Comprensivi) that requested them with school kits containing stationery materials deemed suitable for starting primary school: a supply of consumable items such as notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, glue sticks, rulers, colored pencils/crayons, and paper, all essential for daily school life.
Teachers identified the children facing the greatest financial difficulties, and the principals, receiving and verifying the requests, informed our Foundation of the number of kits to prepare. The project began last year and aims to provide this small support to every comprehensive school in Novara where there is a real need, because a small, tangible helping hand can make a big difference
The kits will consist of the following material:
