Academy ACT donates 500 euros to Saxion for Ukraine

The 25 students and teachers of the Fashion & Textile Technologies program already collected 1,100 euros with 'Make Bags not War'. That amount went to Giro 555. But a post-order, worth 500 euros, had yet to find a destination. "When we saw the benefit Saxion for Ukraine, we immediately knew: this is the destination," says ACT director Raimond Bartelink. "Now the amount will directly benefit our students, who can really use the help."

Bartelink says Saxion for Ukraine, the benefit to secure the tuition fees for next year for the 72 Ukrainian students, is a ‘wonderful initiative’. "We show that we sympathize with our students from Ukraine and that we think about them."

Bartelink did not only donate 500 euros from the 'Make Bags not War'. He privately pledged Jan-Chris Hullegie, lecturer and initiator of the sponsor runs on Thursday, June 30 (Enschede) and Tuesday, July 5 (Deventer), to also sponsor him for an amount of 100 euros.
