15 years of Bake Sale at Realgymnasium Rämibühl

This year, too, the Realgymnasium Rämibühl ‘Solidarity Association’ organised a bake sale for people in need during their public open days on 21/22 March 2019.

What began in March 2005 with reconstruction aid for an Indian village destroyed by the tsunami, has since become firmly established in the school life of the Realgymnasium: Every year, more than 200 students bake for these open days and thus provide tasty snacks to be sold in support of projects of their own choice.

From the beginning, the RG-Rämibühl has supported Usthi with these activities, and for many years a significant part of the proceeds has been donated to the Usthi School in Penthakata. This year again, we are happy to receive a donation of CHF 2000 for Penthakata. We are impressed by the commitment shown by these young people seeking to improve the educational opportunities of disadvantaged young people. Many thanks to all those involved, also on behalf of our pupils in Penthakata. Your support impacts lives – that’s what we stand for!
