Sigtuna Skolan Humanistiska Läroverket
During this unprecedented time, many in our communities around the world have been forced to change their lifestyles and be careful when performing seemingly harmless tasks such as grocery shopping. Many have been forced to completely distance themselves from society for fear of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Sigtuna, Sweden there is a group called FRG (Frivilliga Resurs Gruppen or voluntary recourse group). FRG are an organisation consisting of volunteers who help out in crises such as this pandemic. They have set up a system to deliver food and other items to risk groups in Sigtuna who are not able to shop on their own.
On 11th November students at Sigtunaskolan Humanistiska Läroverket (SSHL), in Sigtuna, Sweden met with a representative from FRG at the local grocery store to learn the procedure and complete a few orders. Two orders were completed and delivered out into Sigtuna by the volunteers. This effort has been continued throughout 2020 and we are persisting in our efforts even now in 2021. We hope to continue this work for as long as there is a need in Sigtuna.
It is important that we make efforts to aid those in our communities who are in need around the world. Caring for others is a central pillar of the Life-Link ethos and is a vital part of society. The purpose of this continuous action is to help those in need in our local community and develop new skills within the students at our school.
Care,
