The joy of giving

It was all about giving at Institute Sankt Joseph this week

Pupils from the Copenhagen-based international school Institute Sankt Joseph are learning about the joy of giving this week.

The school has organised a flea market with items donated by the students, and children can buy cake and popcorn every day from a school yard sale. All profits will be donated to charity.

Meanwhile, the youngest are collecting rubbish around the school, while older pupils are learning first aid.

And finally, some are rehearsing a song entitled ‘Joyful Giving’, which they will sing at Rigshospital and a nursing home.
