Boise, Idaho, USA. It goes without saying that the COVID-19 situation that the world is experiencing has affected everyone and cause, in addition to its effects in the health field, important economic blows in associations and entities, as well as Euskal Etxeas which have had to modify, reduce or cancel events and projects including those that provide financial support. Face with this, Basque clubs around the world are working hard in search of new resources or in strengthening the previous ones as in the case of the online auction that concludes this Sunday organized by the Basque Museum and Boiseko Ikastola.
To date $5,870 have been raised with $20,000 as their goal; Sunday is the last day to bid, don’t miss out
