Bonn fourth graders donate satchels
In the last few days, Janine and Oliver Drathen collected used schoolbags at two elementary schools in Bonn. Well-preserved and lovingly cleaned satchels from fourth graders who donate their tonnis to families in need. For example, to refugee families from Ukraine, but also to children from Germany whose parents barely have money for a new school bag. Thank you very much for this.
Olli is super satisfied with the action and the pictures speak for themselves: “It was really great with the kids. Many made small gifts or packed pencils and other little things to make the children who will receive the satchel later happy.”
KW Fitness Bonn: Team clothing donated
On the same day, our two volunteers were also able to receive team clothing in good condition at the Bonn gym KW Fitness, which we will give to people in need. We also say thank you for this!
Reading “Abandoned Land” in Alfter
In mid-August, we will continue in our human joy media channels. Here on the blog, on Instagram and Facebook. On August 17, 2022 we cordially invite you to Alfter. Our author Dr. Knuth Martens will read from the book “Verlassenes Land – Über Menschen und Menschlichkeit im Ukraine-Krieg” and provide an opportunity to engage in conversation. More information is available in this blog post.
Soon we will continue…
During the summer break, many of our projects continue – such as the well construction project in Madagascar and the preparation of the next trip. Also the aid transports to the refugee camps in Poland and to the border with Ukraine.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or suggestions about our work, please feel free to contact us at: info@menschenfreude.org. We wish you and our volunteers a wonderful summer!
