Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal Ukraine donation (how you can help)

[wanderer]

The Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal will be doing their 92nd consecutive donation for the Ukraine game, and will be making a donation to Bebiko on the day of the game in Krakow.

Bebiko (which translates as “baby”) is a non-profit organization set up in 2010 that offers assistance to Children aged 2 to 5 years old who are affected with Down-Syndrome.

The organization currently looks after 60 children and not only provides a program aimed at solving the problem of integration and socialization of children and youths with Down syndrome, giving them the opportunity to fully function as they reach adulthood, but also to do away with the stigma that people may have of people with Down-Syndrome.

They hold individual, group and integrated classes every day, and during their 11 years of operation, have organised more than one hundred events and activities, both in their small centre in central Ternopil, as well as field trips for mothers and children with disabilities.

Bebiko strive to implement the right of children with Down-syndrome to integrate into society and provide access to a quality education, and we at the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal are delighted to help out such a worthy cause, which during these dark times in their country, need that ray of sunshine more than ever.

With this we are delight to announce that individual fans and Tartan Army Clubs can also do there bit 👍

With the help of David McGirr (a Scot who lives in Krakow) and Stuart McKenzie (a Scot who lives in Kyiv) on the match day in Krakow we will be doing a hub in a central location where fans can bring along their own wee donation which will bring much joy to a wee boy or girl currently in Ukraine.

What Bebiko are looking for is the most basic and simple things for the children they help, items such as colouring books (for children and teenagers) and colour pencils/sharpeners/erasers/pens etc.

Please keep it simple, NO CLOTHES, FOOD, FOOTWEAR, MEDICINE, TOYS OR BOOKS IN ENGLISH* PLEASE – IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE ASK.

*Please keep in mind that these children will have no command of ANY English, so we ask you to keep it simple and manageable (for storage and transportation purposes).

Ukraine Presentation and Collection Point Confirmed

We’re pleased to confirm that for both the presentation and the drop off point for the colour pencils/sharpeners/erasers/pens etc. will be in the very central:

KLUB PODJASZCZURAMI

RYNEK GLOWNY 8,

31-042, KRAKOW

That name/address might be familiar to a few, as it’s the same venue as the now legendary ‘Night Afore Perty’ and the pre match gigs from Tam and Ted!

The presentation will take place on matchday, commencing around midday and your donations can be dropped off from then onward, including during the pre-match party that afternoon/evening.

Details of suitable items and/or if you’d like to donate but won’t be able to attend, can be found in the link below:

Thanks to Baby Box Scotland, TASA have been given some limited spaces on two trucks leaving Glasgow on the 20th and 25th of September.

Donations need to be made by Sunday at the Forge Shopping Centre in Glasgow, but I will be going around collecting and delivering stuff on Saturday if anyone wants to make their own wee contribution.

Please keep it simple, as all Bebiko are really looking for is donations of things like colouring books (for children and teenagers) and colour pencils/sharpeners/erasers/pens etc.

NO CLOTHES, FOOD, FOOTWEAR, MEDICINE, TOYS OR BOOKS IN ENGLISH* PLEASE – IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE ASK.

*Please keep in mind that these children will have no command of ANY English, so we ask you to keep it simple and manageable (for storage and transportation purposes).

Two large boxes (including 74 Scotland scarves donated by the SFA) were put on the truck over the weekend, and another two large boxes and a suitcase bursting with stuff donated at a charity event in Edinburgh all set to go as well.

Any fans heading over and want to donate something, then can do so any time up to match day in "KLUB POD JASZCZURAMI" (RYNEK GLOWNY 8, 31-042, KRAKOW).
