37 school backpacks are on their way to Sibiu

In collaboration with the organization “Hilfe für Sibiu/Hermannstadt,” the last chalkboards left the Steinmühle during the summer break on a fully loaded 40-metric-ton truck headed for Sibiu—as part of an aid shipment for our Romanian sister city.

The next shipment to Sibiu will include 37 school backpacks in good condition for our new fifth-graders. Principal Bernd Holly has been actively supporting the school backpack drive organized by the Marburg Children’s and Youth Parliament (KiJuPa) for years. The campaign provides school backpacks to children who cannot afford them, while also taking a stand against waste and promoting greater sustainability.
