Ukrainian-Hungarian Budapest School Project
Jan. 16, 2024 7:15 a.m.
Cheryl Mader, Cathy Statz, and Sharon Bradish traveled to Budapest in April 2023 on a Rotary Friendship Exchange. While there, they were hosted by 4 of the 10 Rotary Clubs in Budapest. One of those clubs, The Rotary Club Budapest-City, has undertaken a tremendous initiative by opening a school for Ukrainian refugee children and hiring Ukrainian refugee teachers. Rotary Clubs in the area are spreading the word to raise funds for next year’s school expansion.
 Imagine that you are a nine-year old child who has fled the war-torn area of Ukraine with your mother and siblings and very few possessions. You are happy to leave the destruction behind and to head for safety. You are sad because your father is staying behind to fight for your country’s right to exist. Where will you live? Where are you going? You and your family are going to Budapest, the capital of the neighboring country of Hungary. How will you manage? You don’t know Hungarian, a language that is not at all similar to your native language. After you get to your new home you will enroll in a Hungarian school or attempt to keep up your studies with an online Ukrainian school. Both present problems. Not knowing Hungarian is a big obstacle to progressing in your studies. You won’t understand your teachers as you slowly try to acquire this strange, new language. The Ukrainian remote schools are hampered by lack of electricity and the Internet. Then you hear about a school in Budapest that is teaching Ukrainian refugee children in their language with the blessing of the Ukrainian Education Ministry and even has certified Ukrainian teachers who are also refugees. The Rotary Club of Budapest-City will be applying for a Rotary Global grant to expand the school to 700 students in September of 2024. Funding will be supported by the Hungarian government and sponsors. The school will be bilingual and all teacher and student data will be submitted to the Hungarian Ministry of Education. The Rotary Club of Budapest is asking fellow Rotarians to provide funding for equipment for the new school. What is needed? Chalk boards, Smart Boards, desks, chairs, cabinets, kitchen equipment. The budget for these items is estimated at $240,000 USD. We are calling on all Rotarians and Rotary Clubs of District 6250 to embrace this service project sponsored by five of our clubs. How did we get connected to this school? In April of 2023 Rotary District 6250 sponsored a group of 11 on a Rotary Friendship Exchange. The group was hosted by four of the Rotary Clubs in Budapest. The group had the privilege of meeting Viktoria Griessmüller, the president of The Rotary Club of Budapest-City Center. Viktoria is originally from Ukraine and this project is very important to her personally.
