In the past few months, UF has had many opportunities to go out and share our views on development work by having great conversations and exchanges with different groups of people in many different environments, from public events to schools.
On May 14th 2017, Unity Foundation welcomed friends and donors to a screening of the award winning film ‘Mercy’s Blessing’ followed by a cosy brunch to welcome spring! The event was mainly to bring friends together in an informal setting and to share the progress of the projects Unity Foundation has been a part of during the past year.
The film screening portrayed the realities of many of the countries our educational projects are based in and it allowed a very insightful discussion afterwards. People were clearly moved by the scenery and the theme of the film and it brought to light the challenges many communities face and the right to education.
On May 28th, 2017, the municipality of Mondercange organised their first “Charity Association’s day” ( Journée des Associations de Bienfaisance) which was held at the cultural center “Beim Nëssert” in Bergem. The goal of this wonderful initiative was to raise funds in support of about 30 NGO’s being represented during the event.
Regardless of the sweltering heat, the joyous occasion was filled with lovely music, international food trucks, and a fun prize-winning tombola initiative. Many informative stands from diverse Luxembourg-based NGO’s were present and Unity Foundation was amongst them with an info stand that allowed many meaningful conversations with passer-by’s who wanted to learn more about our engagement with the educational projects we support.
