Christmas in a Bag

Students in Year 12 and 13 collected and donated essential Christmas items for Syrian refugees. These refugees are currently housed in various Foyer d’ Accueil in Luxembourg run by the Luxembourg Croix – Rouge in collaboration with the Office luxembourgeois de l'accueil et de l'intégration (OLAI).

There are currently five Foyer d’Accueil in Luxembourg in the following towns:

• Limpertsberg
• Eich
• Rédange
• Bertrange
• Berg

OLAI is in charge of the refugee’s integration in Luxembourg, including organising their private accommodation, monthly financial support, socio-pedagogical support for their children, administrative assistance, and follow up on the social conditions of the families. In addition, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth, OLAI has organized scholarships for the children and French courses for the adults. Through such measures, Luxembourg endeavours to create the best possible conditions for the successful integration of these resettled refugees.
