The Wishing Tree Project | Support for Refugees ORSIM
We will be setting up a Wishing Tree in the BMS reception area where a group of volunteers will hang some ´wishes´ of items desperately needed by families currently living here in Berlin as refugees.
How can you help?
- Select an item from the Wishing Tree ( e.g. an item to purchase, a donation to give)
- Bring the selected item(s) and place this under The Wishing Tree by Friday 11th December at 17.00.
You can also:
- Buy home baked cookies or cakes at one of our upcoming Bake Sales.
If you have any questions about supporting ORSIM you can contact Marika Gallar or Heike Müller at social.project@metropolitanschool.com
