Study Tour to Moldova

From 17-22 March, 23 participants from Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Austria and Switzerland visited the project “Hopes and Dreams for Everyone” which is SI President Hanne Jensbo’s December 10 Appeal.

They travelled across Moldova to Napadova, Soroca, Balti, and Edinet. There they visited boarding schools where the beneficiaries of this project receive life skills education.

SI Norway cooperates with the International Organization of Migration and other local organizations to implement the project. In particular, to identify vulnerable girls and boys. The participants were also part of the inauguration of a well in a kindergarten in Edinet.
