„Ecumentical Circle for One World“ Schönaich supports NHB again – October 2014

Schönaich, a town near Böblingen in Baden-Württemberg is not an unknown place for the members of NHB, financial support started there 17 years ago.

Then it was 15,000 D-mark, which the small team of “Ecumenical Circle for One World” collected in the context of “One World Day”, which is celebrated annually on the first Sunday of Advent. This was only possible because of the enormous financial commitment of the community members and the inventiveness of the members of the organisation. Originally, it is an unwritten law that they help every charitable organisation only once. This is the first time ever that someone has received financial support a second time. This can be seen as a special sign of trust and the long-term good contact.

The present “One World Day” with the topic “Inclusion” raises money for our “School for the Blind” in Chautara. The equipment for the school itself will be funded as well as for the affiliated residential accommodation for the 16 boys and girls.

On 16th Oct 2014 Michaela and Michael Rebele came to visit Schönaich to make a presentation about the various projects. Much has changed in the many years since Karl Rebele and Manfred Lindner gave a lecture on NHB in 1997. The audience of the evening event were amazed at the results and praised the work of the organisation.

Elke Kübler, the president of the ecumentical cirle thanked the referees for their presentation and expressed her good hopes for a successful event on 30th Nov 14.
