The Christmas market of the Kurpfalz boarding school took place several months ago – and yet it is now evident how sustainable its impact is. What was created back then with a lot of dedication, creativity, and a sense of community has now culminated in two very special encounters: The donation checks were presented. <\/i><\/p>\n\n
As in every year, the proceeds from the Christmas market were entirely donated to two social projects. The decision was made by the student parliament. In 2024, the choice fell on the children’s hospice Sterntaler and SOS Children’s Villages \u2013 worldwide \u2013 two organizations that are deeply committed to helping children and adolescents in difficult situations. <\/p>\n\n
Touching encounter at the children’s hospice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Our student representatives Pascal and Marlin personally visited the children’s hospice Sterntaler to present a donation check of 5,000 euros. On-site, they experienced how valuable and necessary the work being done there is\u2014 and how much care is given to the affected children and their families. It was an emotional visit that deeply moved both of them and once again demonstrated the importance of social engagement\u2014 and that every donation can truly make a difference. <\/p>\n\n SOS Children’s Villages visiting Bammental<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Shortly thereafter, the second donation handover took place \u2013 this time at the Kurpfalz boarding school itself. Petra Sorge-Booms, head of the D\u00fcsseldorf office of SOS Children’s Villages worldwide, personally accepted the symbolic check. In an impressive speech, she thanked all the students, staff, and families who made this success possible. <\/p>\n\n She reported on children and young people who find protection, education, and security in SOS Children’s Villages around the world \u2013 and made it clear how significant a donation like this is. Her words resonated and left a sense of gratitude and reflection alike. <\/p>\n\n We thank once again everyone who contributed to this result and are proud to live social responsibility together with our students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Christmas market of the Kurpfalz boarding school took place several months ago.
