Thanks to the wonderful generosity of Castelo de Sonhos “Back to School” supporters, this family charity has been able to distribute 90 filled backpacks to disadvantaged children within the Silves area.  This project started nearly 20 years ago and 2024 marks a RECORD number of children helped.

Each backpack was filled with all the school materials needed for the start of the new term.

RC Silves members have always supported this charity and are happy to join other charities as they strive to support this project. This year Lagoa International join us with a generous donation of 240€. Many other charities are involved in supporting Castelo de Sonhos in this en devour and special thanks must go to all of them.
