45 Backpacks for the Virginia Mars School

Thank you to all of the associates at Mars Dubai (EXD) who contributed to my collection for the Virginia Mars School in Itabuna Brazil.

After talking to some of the volunteers at the school it became clear that whilst they already had many pens & pencils, they were in desperate need for backpacks. The children often travel long distances to school with books & clothes and would really benefit from these.

Thanks to your generous contributions we raised 1,593 AED and I was able to purchase 45 quality backpacks for the school children there!!


Thanks again to all of you and I look forward to sharing my experiences & photos with you on my return!

P.S. They all just about fit in the largest suitcase I own...!!
