An enjoyable fundraising campaign

[:en]

BBS 2015 1The students in the vocational introductory class for home economics at BBS II in Delmenhorst have spent this school year exploring what food waste in Germany has to do with hunger in Africa. Through contact with an au pair from Cameroon, among other things, they learned that very few children in Cameroon attend school because their parents cannot afford the school fees. The personal conversation deeply affected them: “We believe that every person should have the freedom to eat their fill, go to school and decide for themselves what to do with their own life.” At an external event, the students then met our ambassadors Sabine and Dr. Hans-Christian Schröder, who told them about our projects in Okakarara. “We found it all very exciting […]. It’s wonderful that so much good can be achieved for so many people in such a short time. This is how we came up with the idea of wanting to support this project as well.” The students themselves run the student company Küchenzauber. They decided to cook African dishes and offer them as a buffet in the staff room in exchange for a donation. But they did not stop there. In addition to this activity, the students decided to donate money from their kitchen company’s own earnings, which makes us very happy.

“With our donation, we want to support the project ‘Vegetable cultivation in Okakarara’, because people cannot survive without food and the vegetable field also supports the soup kitchen and generates money that benefits everyone.” The pupils also want to continue to support steps for children beyond this campaign. The next fundraising campaigns are already being planned and prepared in order to continue supporting people in need in Africa in the future. We are particularly pleased about the pupils' interest in supporting the steps projects in the long term.

The steps-Team sincerely thanks the students, on behalf of the staff and children in Namibia, for their dedicated commitment, through which they are assuming social responsibility on a global scale. We are already looking forward to the next activity, which will once again require their full commitment.
