Every year charity program, ”taksvärkki”,
was carried out from end of November to beginning of December at our school.
The idea of “taksvärkki” is, that schools give a day-off to students, if
students pay agreed amount money. The money is earned for example by doing
households or helping parents with their jobs. The bigger half of collected
moneys is given to selected cause, for example to hospitals or elderly care.
At this school year our school
chose to use moneys at Joulupuu(“Christmas tree”) -fundraising .
Joulupuu-fundraising is every year program on our area. The point of this
program is that there are Christmas trees at banks and supermarkets. There are
hanging tags on Christmas trees where is written child´s/teenager´s name and
age on. Anyone can take these tags, and then buy and pack a gift for this
person behind tags. Then gift is returned to the collecting point, and the
staff delivers the gifts to kids. With our moneys we bought 22 gifts: eleven
for boys and eleven for girls.
The gifts were thought, bought
and packed by our schools student government. Other students were also allowed
to join every step of the program. Also everyone could follow the proses
through our school´s Instagram page.
