Dr. Ambedkar School

Nur durch Bildung kann die Stellung der Roma in der Gesellschaft verbessert werden. Darum initiierten Innsbrucker Schüler ein Projekt, mit dem eine Schule für Roma in Ungarn finanziert wird. Bisher konnten so 45.000 Euro gesammelt werden.

Wer in der vorweihnachtlichen Zeit Gutes tun will, hat es dieses Jahr besonders einfach: Durch den Kauf eines eigens gestalteten „Roma-Sackerls“ unterstützt man nämlich Roma-Kinder und kann gleichzeitig seine Einkäufe bequem transportieren.

Schüler des Innsbrucker Gymnasiums am Adolf-Pichler-Platz initiierten dieses Projekt bereits vor einem Jahr. Und da es sehr erfolgreich verlief, geht die Aktion heuer bereits in die zweite Runde. Unterstützt durch Lehrer wie Angela Bachlechner konnten bisher knapp 45.000 Euro gesammelt werden: „Wir wollten den Schülern zeigen, dass man etwas verändern kann, wenn man sich nur engagiert.“
