Hope For Children appeal for kids in need

Hope For Children UNCRC Policy Centre under its programme Eradicate Child Poverty in Cyprus, is appealing to the public for the collection of school and other items such as clothing an toys.
The organisation in collaboration with the Andrey & Julia Dashin Foundation is continuing the initiative Back to School with Hope for the provision of free school supplies to low-income families in Cyprus, which will last until January 2015. The collection points are all DHL Stores across Cyprus.
The Mavromatis Bookstores will until December 31 be giving 5 per cent of sales with each purchase over €20 to support these children. It also has books and games at reasonably low prices which will enable customers to purchase them and drop them off on the spot at a special collection point for Hope For Children located on the premises of Mavromatis shops islandwide. The public can also drop off their own books, toys and clothing there.

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.
