As reported by the Saxon Youth Circle, 251 schools join the 20th action day "genialsocial - Your Work to Combat Poverty" and roughly 30,000 teenagers participate. They donate their earnings from work to philanthropic initiatives such as rural clinics in Madagascar, building a primary school in Sierra Leone, or a community center for refugees in Cameroon.
