Institut Sankt Joseph had the pleasure of welcoming Susanne Møller Andersen from the Catholic charity organisation Caritas, yesterday the 8th of May. The purpose of her visit was to inform the school how the over 100,000 kr, which was raised during our “Be the Change” event last fall, has been put to use. Susanne informed us that the money has been used to buy classroom materials for 16 of the most impoverished schools in Nigera, but that was not all…The money that the Institut Sankt Joseph school community worked so hard to raise has been used to provide food for the children while they attend their daily lessons. In addition to this status report, our students were shown pictures from Sussane´s mission in Nigeria. The area where our resources are being used is so dangerous that Susanne was under police protection the entire time, as kidnappings of foreigners are a real possibility. The pictures revealed the stark contrast between the dilapidated school buildings of Nigera, compared to the smartboards and comforts that our own children experience here in Copenhagen. The entire “Be the Change” experience has been one of learning,solidarity, charity and has shown that a school community can come together to make a real impact for those who are in need.

• Institut Sankt Joseph´s “Be the Change” event ended Friday night. The result of over a week of hard work by staff and students resulted in the raising of over 103, 818 kr!  A special thanks to all parents, students, staff and of course our sponsors for helping to make this possible.
• This amount of money will be put to immediate use and will greatly benefit the nomadic children yearning for houses of education in Niger. The general secretary of Caritas Denmark, who received the big check from Institut Sankt Joseph, said that it was a substantial amount of money that would bring about change for these children. Therefore, on behalf of the entire school community we would like to thank all involved for truly “being the change.”
