Days full of fun, adventure and autumnal atmosphere
During the autumn holidays, our annual autumn holiday program for the children took place – a time full of exciting activities, exercise and shared experiences.
The first play structures are in place, and sand has been filled into the sandbox. Only the lawn and a few safety cushions are missing. Every day, curious children's eyes gaze expectantly at the construction site.
The launch was made possible thanks to the many donations. Even though we haven't raised the money yet, we've already made a start.
A heartfelt "thank you" to all donors!
We would be happy to receive further donations.
Homework help has become an indispensable support for students. What once began as a small project in a common room is now an established and ongoing service for the children and young people in our care, one that is constantly growing and evolving.
Two former residents of the CFEE shelters are featured in the film documentary by the Protestant magazine indeon.de. Staff and volunteers, as well as the mayor, also have their say. We're almost a little proud to have been able to participate in the filming 😊.

Paying is an everyday process. You can usually choose freely: cash, card or smartphone. This will no longer apply to refugees in the future. The federal and state governments have decided to introduce their own payment cards for them. Refugees should, if possible, no longer have any free money at their disposal.
