The Wülfratherin Tina Lieser starts the campaign today. It provides information and collects donations from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at a stand at the weekly market.
The idea is very simple: “Every child who has fled the Ukraine and is accommodated in Wülfrath should be given a small backpack as a welcome gift,” explains Tina Lieser, who initiated the “Your backpack” campaign and agreed with the city’s social welfare office Has. Today the Wülfratherin is at the weekly market from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. There she provides information about the campaign, but also accepts donations. Since yesterday she has been promoting it on social networks.
“The backpack should be filled with niceties and practical things, but it can also be a gym bag,” says Lieser. She made a small list for this: a small drinking bottle/package, sweets, a small coloring book with pens, a small pack of wet wipes/handkerchiefs, a small cream jar, small toys such as a bubble tin and a small cuddly toy. Lieser asks that you only pack these small things. “Every child will find roughly the same content.”
If no backpacks or gym bags are available, the donations can also be handed in unpacked today. “I will receive 115 bags as a donation in the next few days,” she notes. She also gladly accepts monetary donations. “Then I buy the material.”
If you have any questions or would like to continue to support the campaign in the coming days, you can send an email to Tina Lieser: [email protected] or PM Tina Lieser on Facebook.
