Our high school students coordinating the traditional Avenor Charity Fair are inviting you to discover how they have reinvented this event and how you can also contribute to their cause.
Hello everybody,
I am Ana-Caterina, from Grade 11, and I have been coordinating the Avenor Christmas Charity Fair for the past three years. I now feel that this project has become a part of my heart and soul. I strive to make our initiative visible because I believe in our charitable cause and I believe that each of us has a charitable spirit. Help us spread this spirit and make a difference!
And I am Tiberiu, also from Grade 11, helping Ana-Caterina this year to carry on this beautiful tradition.
Although this is my first year at Avenor, I decided to volunteer and get involved in this project as soon as I heard about it. I believe in our message and in our charitable cause because I think we should take care of our elders and offer them a happy and peaceful Christmas, especially in these challenging times. I am sure that people will help us and donate because everyone feels the spirit of Christmas and wants to make it full of joy for everyone.
We are happy to tell you the story of this year’s version of the Avenor Christmas Charity Fair and to invite you to be part of it.
As you know and probably remember from the past years, the Avenor Christmas Charity Fair has become a tradition at Avenor College. We created our community and we value greatly this magical event which brings back the charity spirit every Christmas.
Do you remember that time last December when the children were excited about getting the ‘spiridoni’ and all the tempting sweets at the Christmas Fair? Well, last year was amazing and meaningful for us all. It was a privilege for the organising team formed of high school students, and a joy for the whole Avenor Community to contribute to a wonderful cause: Dăruiește Viață. Last year, with your help we raised almost 45 000 RON for the first Children’s Hospital for Pediatric Oncology built in Romania.
However, this year we had to reinvent ourselves. We didn’t want to lose the Christmas spirit and the opportunity to be kind and generous. So, the new concept, adapted to the situation is: Avenor Charity Advent Calendar – a new Avenor Christmas online event.
Every day until Christmas Eve we are offering on our Facebook and Instagram pages Christmas-themed virtual surprises in exchange for donations to one of the projects from Melania Medeleanu’s foundation „Zi de Bine”, which aims to help poor elderly people in remote villages.
We are dedicated to helping grandparents around Romania, who are alone during this holiday season. This is the reason why we have organised a Charity Advent Calendar, asking for your generosity and support for Asociația Zi de Bine’s project „Perna cu Tihnă”.
In the first week of the project we have raised 5.000 lei. Our goal is to collect 12.000 lei and with your help we are confident we can do it.
The event is 100% student led, the highschool students are the ones to coordinate the making, filming and planning of the 24 videos.
But there’s more. The Christmas videos can be made by anybody who wishes to get involved from our community – you can sing a Christmas song along with your family or friends for our Charity Advent Calendar!
We, the Avenor Christmas Charity Fair community, would truly appreciate your contribution for this event and process by sharing our initiative with your family and friends. Your support and generosity towards our charitable cause would be our present for this Christmas.
Thank you in advance for your positivity and support! Happy Holidays!
Help us spread the joy of giving and donate to our cause!
You can see all of the daily videos on our online Advent Calendar.
Feel free to contact me or my colleague anytime.
