Mission:
The Poland Drive is a long established service group at FIS dedicated to supporting a children's home and school, called J. Korczak Special School, in Poland. We fundraise to help support building projects and actions at the home and strive to organize an annual visit to help support the children. We aim to form relationships with the children by showing them love, care, and support.
