Paphos volunteer group to help needy with school supplies

THE VOLUNTEER group ‘Solidarity’ in Paphos will donate school clothes and bags to families facing financial difficulties ahead of the new school year.

According to a released statement, the club will collaborate with a children’s clothes shop in Paphos to hand out free school clothes to 150 children from poor families while another shop will offer free school bags and writing accessories.

Head of the volunteer club Giorgos Sophocleous thanked all those volunteers who responded immediately to the call to provide free gifts and called on all citizens to keep supporting the club so it can continue supporting vulnerable groups within society.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
