TIP at the Houses of Parliament. In September, the annual charity quiz took place in the UK organized by the
British Group Inter-Parliamentary Union. The Ideas Partnership was BGIPU’s chosen charity to support this year through this annual event. We are very grateful to BGIPU, MPs, Parliamentary staff, and to all those who have made a donation in support of our work in Kosovo. We were represented in the charity quiz by our supporter and volunteer, Keith Hill, whom we thank for promoting the work of TIP.
Hundreds of children in Fushe Kosove and Janjeve/o have started the new school year with new bags and other school materials which we were able to buy and distribute thanks to a very generous donation made by Buchanan and Lucille Jenner. Months before the new school year begins, The Ideas Partnership’s team in Fushe Kosove and Janjeve/o runs the campaign of raising awareness to the importance of registering children at school and helps assist the parents in this process. Donations like this enable us to support these children to continue their education. Thank you, Buchanan and Lucille Jenner!
