Walking the border lands in Autumn

Sun, 11/04/2018 - 09:28

55 children and teenagers began a week-long hike along the German border with their teachers on 20th October 2018.

Their goal was to hike borders steeped in history, to challenge one's own boundaries, but also to developed boundless strength.

Walking is a great way of giving the children, who have had crossed so many metaphorical borders in their past, the opportunity to enjoy life to the full and let off steam whilst exercising. Walking frees the mind and the spirit and helps people to concentrate on what is really important.
The walk started in Tettau in Bavaria. The untiring walkers reached their goal, Ummerstadt in Thüringen, after a week, having walked 105 km in total. Unforgettable impressions, the illustration of historical events and the chance to meet real-life witnesses: all these things will remind the children and teenagers of a lovely week's holiday, spent being active in the great outdoors.

In our projects, our main focus is on educational support, especially in our school projects. We believe that education is the pathway to empower people to build a better future for themselves.

Continuously supporting schools in their operation is just as well part of our work as is the construction and improvement of school infrastructure. Creating access to a secure educational environment free of charge in poor regions with comparatively high educational costs and inadequate public facilities is our goal.

Select one of many children from our schools around the world and become their hero!

Hundreds of children attend our schools around the world, from India to Central America, from South Africa to the Philippines, thanks to the generosity of our heroes.

Many women and men support us and have supported us through generous donations.

Nevertheless, only a few have taken the responsibility, the challenge, and the courage to donate regularly through our sponsorship programme.

If you feel the call to become a hero and want to commit to helping our children, check out our sponsorship programme and become one.

Your sponsorship will bring a book, a meal, a ride, a uniform, a classroom, education against bullying and many other necessary things to one or hundreds of children from our school projects.

THANK YOU for your support!
