Gov't Sending Aid to 40,000 Poor Kindergarten Starters, Says Minister
The government is sending 40,000 packages to families at Hungary’s 300 poorest towns to help them with children starting kindergarten in September, the human resources minister told a press conference.

Miklós Kásler said that the packages, distributed by the Hungarian Maltese Charity and its partner organisations, contained educational equipment and articles of personal hygiene.

The packages are worth a combined 800 million forints (EUR 2.3m), he added.
