For many families, the start of the school year comes with significant costs. Especially for families with children starting school, buying school supplies can put a big dent in their budget: backpacks, notebooks, pens, gym clothes, art supplies…\u2014the basic supplies alone can cost several hundred euros. Not to mention the additional costs charged during the first week of school for arts and crafts fees, photocopying costs, and so on. For families facing financial challenges, the start of the school year is therefore often a major burden.<\/p>\n

As a company that has been committed to digital education solutions for many years, it is particularly important to us to help where support is urgently needed. That is why we have once again participated in the \u201cw\u00fcnsch mir was\u201d association\u2019s school-start campaign this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A little help for families in financial distress<\/h3><\/div>

The nonprofit organization “w\u00fcnsch mir was” gives gifts to children on special occasions to support families in financial need. In addition to the annual Christmas campaign, we have also been supporting the organization’s school-start campaign for the past few years.<\/p>\n

The School-Start Campaign organized by the association “w\u00fcnsch mir was”\u00a0 ensures that first-graders living in Austria can start their first school year with a complete set of school supplies\u2014regardless of their families\u2019 financial circumstances. Thanks to the support of individuals and organizations that register with the association as helpers, families facing financial hardship can receive assistance, thereby relieving them of at least one worry.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Working Together for a Successful Start to School<\/h3><\/div>

Supporting the initiatives of the \u201cw\u00fcnsch mir was\u201d organization is something very special to us. It\u2019s not just about donating money. As a volunteer, you take on an active role by having to buy the gift yourself. That\u2019s exactly what makes this support so personal.<\/p>\n

Each volunteer receives a personalized list of school supplies for a child. The list includes all the school supplies required by the respective school\u2014from notebooks and pens to gym bags and art supplies. If desired, a school goodie bag is also included.<\/p>\n

In our case, we had the opportunity to put together a school supply set for L. What\u2019s especially nice is that the wish list also includes information such as the child\u2019s favorite color or favorite motive. This allowed us to choose school supplies that were just right for her. For example, we knew that L. loves the color pink and is a big horse fan. That\u2019s why we selected her school goodie bag and a few other school supplies based entirely on her preferences.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s precisely these personal details that make this support so special to us. The child becomes more real to us, and the shopping experience takes on a whole new meaning. This way, \u201cour\u201d girl is not only perfectly prepared for her first day of school, but will hopefully also be delighted with school supplies that are just right for her.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Charitable Engagement as a Mission<\/h3><\/div>

For us as a company, supporting various charitable initiatives has long been a tradition. In recent years, we have supported a wide variety of initiatives organized by the \u201cw\u00fcnsch mir was\u201d association\u2014including the school-start campaign\u2014and we are pleased to be able to contribute again this year.<\/p>\n

Education opens doors to opportunities\u2014and these opportunities should be equally available to all children. Through our support, we hope to help ensure that children can start the new school year with joy, confidence, and the necessary supplies.<\/p>\n<\/div>

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the team at \u201cw\u00fcnsch mir was\u201d for their tireless efforts, and we are delighted to be working together to promote greater equality of opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":708,"featured_media":12458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[243],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/708"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12466"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12466\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12469,"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12466\/revisions\/12469"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bitmedia.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
