Magyarfülpös Szórványkollégium, located in Mezőség, was founded 20 years ago by the reformed pastor István Ady. Children who were previously unable to study in their mother tongue were brought here, and they had to fight a life-and-death battle to earn their daily income, they had to face violence at home, alcoholism, etc. on a daily basis . Unfortunately, they can only be residents of the home on weekdays, they have to go home for the weekend... It is not uncommon that they do not eat anything all weekend, and most of them sleep on the concrete floor in an unheated room, there is no electricity or water in their home.
At the moment, 49 Hungarian children have found temporary shelter in Szórványkollégium, and the runners organized by the Egy Vérből Vagyunk Foundation ran for them.
