Great commitment of the little ones

On 30 November, a sales campaign took place in Rapperswil-Jona for the benefit of the Usthi Foundation. Even the little ones can get involved in making education and healthcare possible.

At the Rapperswil-Jona day nursery, they were busy doing handicrafts. But this time it was not gifts for mum and dad, but indirect gifts for children and teenagers in the Usthi projects in India. In a pre-Christmas mood, a small sales campaign took place on Wednesday evening in the Jona day nursery.

Beautiful homemade products were sold. The proceeds go completely to the Usthi projects in India and enable the children and young people there to build up a perspective.

We are very happy that even the youngest are committed to Usthi and wish everyone a peaceful Advent season.
