Junior police officers chip in

Manfred Linder expressed hearty thanks to his young colleagues, to Hermann Meyer (outside right), head of training, and to the Deputy Platoon Commander for their generous donation.

The State Police Battalion (Bereitschaftspolizeiabteilung) based in Eichstaett has had friendly relations with Nepalhilfe in nearby Beilngries for more than twenty years, with Nepalhilfe representatives regularly holding talks at the police facilities and thus prompting numerous young policemen to travel to Nepal. On August 25th, 2017, a celebration was held at the Eichstaett Battalion’s gymnasium honoring 109 young police masters upon their graduation from their training scheme.

Thanks to diligent planning and many donations, the event made a profit, which the participants donated to the Batallion’s booster club and to Nepalhilfe Beilngries e.V. Seminar spokespeople Jennifer Schreistetter, Christian Randelzhofer and Tizian Predeschly presented Manfred Lindner, deputy director of Nepalhilfe, with a check for the respectable amount of 1049 euros (about 1100 US dollars).
