Why did you decide to collect donations for the refugee crisis?
I noticed a post on Facebook by a local group called Gossip Girls for Refugees, asking about drop-off points for donations. I thought it would be nice for the children at our nursery to get involved and do something for other children who are less fortunate than they are.
Have you received a lot of donations?
In total we received two to three carloads of donations, which we then drove to the local unit to be passed on to refugees in Hungary and Greece. We were given a real mix of items - practical things like toiletries and clothes, as well as some toys from the children. A lot of those were from our children and their parents.
