Fundraising campaign: 5,000 euros for the children of Kenya
Ruschke und Partner presented the children's charity Kenia-Kinder-Hilfe, based in Oberursel, with a donation of 5,000 euros to support the financing of the equipment needed for the long-planned kindergarten in Langobaya, Kenya. Construction work on the three-room building is almost finished. The walls are plastered, the roof is complete and the painters have started work. So it is just the right time to order tables, benches, chairs and cupboards; of course, toys and teaching materials for the kindergarten's little visitors also need to be purchased. “It was very important to us to make a donation to an organisation where we could be sure that the money would really be used to help those in need. We also wanted to support an organisation based in our home town”, said Stefan Ruschke. The kindergarten is located on the grounds of the orphanage and has capacity for up to 250 boys and girls from the local area. While in German kindergartens the emphasis is placed on playing, the Kenyan children will start learning sums, reading and writing and English. This is because they have to pass a test before they can start school. “If everything works out as it should, the first teachers can start on 15 January and our work can begin,” Lutz Krücke is pleased to report.
