Giulia and Asia, two of the students awarded the contribution, confirm this: “I am very grateful to be among the recipients of the scholarship – says Giulia – It is a positive sign that encourages my constant commitment to achieving my scholastic goals, and demonstrates the support of the school, which supported me even in a moment of difficulty such as the flood”. And also Asia, with gratitude, reiterates the attention and solidarity received: “From the first moment they were always ready to help to the difficulties caused by the flood and this economic aid is a further demonstration of the constant commitment of the school community and our territory”. It’s true, it seems to be a drop in the sea, but, ultimately, the sea is also made up of many drops.
