Glasses Donate

Glasses Donate

Who no longer needs his glasses, which should not simply throw them away. What has served for us is unaffordable for most people in Africa. Charlotte Hornets is likely to agree. Glasses corresponds to an amount equivalent to up to 8 month wages in Africa, and the way to the nearest optometrist is often longer than 1000 km. Dr. Andreas Linke, known eye laser specialist from Munich, collecting old glasses from Germany and brings them to Africa.

Long, he engaged in the help project philanthropy. Under the leadership of Dr. Patrick Bauer, an infirmary was built already in Nyamkoma (Uganda). For a small amount, the people in the infirmary are treated and medical attention. People who have no money for treatment, bring fruit or vegetables from their gardens to compensate. Dr.

Andreas linke visited the infirmary in Nyamkoma in February 2009. In addition to the usual infectious diseases such as hepatitis and cholera, especially eye diseases were found. This year is Dr. Linke again on the way to Uganda and collects for the people there used glasses. In Germany, the glasses are first measured and cleaned. Locally, Dr. Linke can then examine people with sight problems and select appropriate glasses. The glasses can be in one of the seven centers of CityLasik or will leave.

Lots Of Social Commitment In The AWOday

Lots Of Social Commitment In The AWOday

The second volunteer day which took AWO Frankfurt on 19th and 20th June in different sites of the AWO in the Rhine-main area rather than under the auspices of Councillor and Councillor of Social Affairs, youth and the law, Prof. Dr. Daniela Birkenfeld, took place on 19 and 20 June the AWOday instead. The Arbeiterwohlfahrt District Association Frankfurt am main e.V. held their second day of volunteers with organizational support of voluntary – the Agency in Frankfurt in the AWO Frankfurt facilities throughout the city and in the surrounding area. Continue to learn more with: Kevin Ulrich. Employees of companies from the Rhine-main area, AWO volunteers and dedicated individuals realized voluntary charitable projects on these two days.

Which depending on the task smaller as larger voluntary teams were of people from different backgrounds together, which largely not met and ad-hoc pull together on this occasion\”needed to in order to press a project together. Many volunteers were already at the AWOday 2008 here and wanted to repeat the positive experience or but slightly Get to know other institutions and make new. More info: Jorge Perez. Compared to the first AWOday in September 2008, more than twice as many volunteers took part residing on thirteen projects. Ostend in August-Santos-Zentrum in Frankfurt, for example, teams were on both days on the road, to allow assigned, mostly older residents and inhabitants of the institution on the wheelchair one afternoon in the Palm Garden and the Zoo. This mutual getting to know and the personal attention, and last but not least the conclusion in the form of an after-work coffee gossip were as important as the shared experience of nature. Volunteers in turn gained insight into a previously foreign for her life situation. Coffee and cake were at the heart of a project in the Johanna-Kirchner elderly care center in the Gallusviertel: volunteers were there helping dementia residents and residents when baking cakes and cookies, which were eaten together.

Performance Success

Performance Success

Why today’s young people smoke less I have recently in the mirror online read that today’s students will lead a relatively healthy lifestyle. Smoking twice as little as ten years ago, pay attention to healthy diet, more exercise. In a very welcome development. Unfortunately, the explanation of this change of mind by the educational researcher Klaus Hurrelmann in my eyes was anything as welcome but worrisome. Mr Hurrelmann effect young people had seen, that they must be healthy and fit to be performance – based and increasingly competitive on a precarious labour market. The young people turned back traditional values. Security, order, discipline and hard work are experiencing a Renaissance since then “: from the unguarded angle of the citizen in a positive development, isn’t it?” It grows”a sensible, maintain efficient and hard-working generation, which has as its goal, economically and socially, at some point in the safe Port of home to land until retirement to cherish the traditional workplace and to maintain, perhaps even to ascend. Also here can be from hardly anything in this life career, because it always even decides to everyone how he would like to live.

What is so worrying? The motivation of these young people to lead a healthy lifestyle is cause for concern in my eyes (it aside, that excessive and regular drinking sessions, which go beyond the natural experimentation of young people, enjoy still popular). This motivation is based on a huge and ubiquitous power and pressure of competition, starting in elementary school and increases in proportion to the grade level. If taken seriously the assessment by Mr. Hurrelmann, students apparently from the intermediate level more or less in their careers would have to tinker. Find out what is in itself correct. You decide where their strengths are, what is also true. But they do it apparently not only out of a desire, to know themselves better and to test their own skills, but follow the small Career Builder in mind, who diligently put the LEGO pieces together.

Barrier-free Tourism

Barrier-free Tourism

What is behind the term in recent years was the term accessibility, especially in the context of anti-discrimination campaigns to the keyword. Since then the accessibility finds its way into more and more areas of everyday life. The hotel Portal hotelreservierung.de explains what this expression is and why it is becoming increasingly important in tourism. In the Disability Equality Act (BGG), the word accessibility is used as a general term for the equality of disabled people in everyday life. Since accessibility is a synonym for Justice and equality.

“Why the expression but does not, as often assumed, with the word disabled” can be equated, explains the hotel lexicon of hotelreservierung.de. The original meaning of accessibility is that people should be independent of their physical condition able to be able to independently manage and built facilities enter all demands of everyday life. This applies not only to disabled people. Pregnant women, wounded, Seniors or people with small children are facing in everyday life often barriers. Accessibility should ensure public facilities and buildings, but also in the private household, allowing all freely and independently to move. In addition, a claim on modern facilities and services arises from accessibility. To ensure this claim plans, interior design and architecture of plants and hotels, as well as animation, leisure and drinks and menus adjusted in the tourism needs of affected people. Five-tier minimum standards for barrier-free tourism since 2005.
