As we are all aware for all of us 2020 was a “complete lost year” due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Making it Impossible to organise and hold fund raising events open to the general public. In fact, other than holding the final of our first “Inter-Schools Talent Contest in February 2020, just before the Covid 19 lockdown, our only source of income was from donations received from corporations and individuals. Our total income for the year amounted to just euro 26,700, some euro 5,000 from the Inter-Schools Talent Contest (staged under our Fund Raising Umbrella of Children Helping Children in Need), plus some euro 21,700 from various financial donations received. We thank the schools, parents, children and donators, who have supported us.

By the beginning of 2017, having been operational for some eighteen months the JoyRon Foundation was now becoming more established and its objectives far more recognised by the community. Hence, the foundation became a little less focused on marketing its objectives and more focused on establishing a fund raising program.
