Project 04/2018: Update and extension of the Education Sponsorship for a knee amputated young Somalien refugee

A couple of months ago we introduced to sponsor education of young refugees in Germany. We started to sponsor with our sponsorship project 04/2018 the school education of a joung Somalian handicapped refugee which we enhanced by creating a new sponsorship project 01/2019.

At suggestion of the local Department for Immigration Lahn-Dill-Kreis, Wetzlar whom we contacted to investigate and evaluate the best possibilities to sponsor the young refugees, we followed their proposal to sponsor education in school where this young Somalian handicapped boy can participate among other class mates.Thus we did get into contact with the relevant school the Somalian boy goes to, the August-Bebel-Gesamtschule, Wetzlar and after discussions held with the Principle and Teacher of this School, the members of the Board of our Foundation concluded to sponsor an intensive lesson course in German language for pupils, non-native speakers. This course shall motivate and help the pupils to learn German by applying specialized teaching methods and improve their knowledge in German. Our thanks are given to the efforts of a class teacher who is organising and render possible this intensive lesson course for non-native speaking pupils giving them also chance by supporting the integration of young people. 

The Board of our Foundation concluded to support this educational work of the Teacher and we will contribute this project with an amount of € 1.000.-. This sponsorship project will be realized beginning of the year 2019.
