Junior company donates for the daily nutrition of children in Namibia to the UNESCO project partner organisation steps for children

The pupils of the junior company at Edith-Stein-Schule Ravensburg & Aulendorf support the UNESCO partner project steps for children with a donation of 400 euros. The donation will contribute to the healthy nutrition of the children in Okakarara, who receive a warm lunch every day.

In Namibia, more than half of the population lives below the poverty line, and a large proportion is undernourished. Following the longest period of drought in 2019, the food situation has worsened further. The country has been in recession since 2016, and many people are losing their jobs. Children are affected hardest.

On 07/02/2020, Ms Kurzawa and the head teacher, Mr Greiner, thanked the pupils and their supervising teachers, Ms Graf, Ms Linz, Ms Vochezer and Ms Wöllhaf, for their great commitment; after all, 14 bath salts, 20 eco-bags, 70 vegetable bags and around 70 kg of biscuits, chutney and raspberry salt, all handcrafted, were able to be sold. The biscuits use ingredients from the region and from fair trade.

One World Day
At the end of November too, committed pupils, teachers, and teaching staff made One World Day possible with colourful activities and a rich food offering. The proceeds go to the UNESCO partner organisations in Namibia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Bangladesh. steps for children received a four-digit sum.

We would like to thank, on behalf of all steps children in Okakarara, the pupils of Edith-Stein-Schule Ravensburg & Aulendorf, the junior company, as well as the supervising teachers Ms Graf, Ms Linz, Ms Vochezer and Ms Wöllhaf, most sincerely for their great commitment.
