DAR Scholarships Partner: Hope and Homes for Children Association Purpose: To support performance in education for children from disadvantaged backgrounds Through this project, we offered excellence scholarships worth 2 000 Euros each for 15 children from disadvantaged backgrounds, thus supporting their social and professional integration. Guided by social workers, the young scholarship recipients will use the scholarships to support their performance and not to abandon their dream. Part of the project is also the Fellows' Camp, held between August 21-23, 2023. For three days, the fellows participated in activities with the Hope and Homes for Children team, but also with the Foundation's ambassadors. In the camp, the fellows participated in games and stories about us, about the world, about plans, dreams and vulnerabilities. The second moment of the project is the DAR Scholarships Gala, held on November 23, 2023. During the Gala, the scholarship recipients were awarded and celebrated. Every year, we will aim to support excellence where lack and vulnerability risk robbing the right to success.
