Prague 5: Public collection for children from Ukraine
07.04.2022 18:35 | Press Release
The management of the fifth city district has set up an account for a public collection called “Five for Children from Ukraine”. Its purpose is to cover the costs of children fleeing war-torn countries who are or will be admitted to schools established by the Prague 5 district after 24 February 2022.
These schools have already admitted around 350 Ukrainian children to their classes. Their parents are now working on how to pay for their school lunches, supplies, sports equipment or a stay at school in nature. And it is the collection that could partially or fully cover these costs.
“As a cantor, I know very well how I feel about a child who does not have snacks, school supplies or cannot go to lunch with other children. With this collection, we would like to make it easier for children from Ukraine to start a new school and a new one in the country, “says Renáta Zajíčková, the mayor of the Prague 5 district responsible for education.
There were almost five thousand people fleeing the war after the outbreak of the war in Prague 5 at the time of the deadline, of which over two thousand were children. With their stay, schools incur costs that are borne by the schools themselves, including the founder. Nevertheless, the City Hall of Prague 5 is also looking for other sources of help.
“We also want to take care of extracurricular activities for children from Ukraine. For example, so that they can play active sports. It is also important to provide interpreters in schools in order to adapt children more quickly to the new environment, “adds Zajíčková.
That is why we are announcing a public collection that we want to address the general public, organizations and companies. They can contribute financially to cover the above-mentioned school costs.
Citizens from all over the Czech Republic can participate in the public collection by contributing the next amounts to the account number 30189-2000857329 / 0800.
