Almost 130 gifts for disadvantaged children and people in need

In Munich, our colleagues supported the “Gifts straight from the Heart” campaign run by the aid organization humedica. The idea is to pack parcels according to a set of instructions so that all children receive useful items such as school supplies or personal hygiene products, as well as something to play with or cuddle. A total of almost 70 parcels were put under the Christmas tree and distributed mainly in Eastern and Southeastern Europe to children's homes and social institutions.

Under the motto “Every package is a sign of hope”, colleagues in Heidenheim have already taken part in the Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe's “Christmas trucker” for the second time. Following instructions, almost 60 parcels were packed for people in need. The focus was on food, hygiene products and gifts for children. The parcels are on their way to Southeast Europe, where they will be distributed to economically weak families as well as to homes for the elderly and children. The site is also supporting the campaign with a donation of 2,000 euros.

Many thanks to all colleagues who took part in the two campaigns and contributed so many thoughtfully packed gifts!
