Like all children, many little ones in Witten are already looking forward to Christmas - and lots of presents. We have learned from the Ruhr Valley Angels in Witten that the place under the Christmas tree, if there is one, will probably remain empty for around 3,000 children and young people from needy families. We are very touched by this fact and we think it would be great if we as a university could help a little again - as we have done in previous years - to put a sparkle of joy in children's eyes.
As usual, a list with the Christmas wishes of the children and young people to be surprised will be available in the post and information office of the campus building from 09.11.2023. Here you can choose one or, if you like, several wishes - everything is worth up to 30 euros. The deadline for submitting the gifts is 12.12.2023. We will then organize a transport service to personally deliver all the beautifully wrapped gifts to the Ruhrtal Engel premises. A small deed for us - which will have a big impact with your help.
Background: The Ruhrtal Engel are committed to providing low-income children and young people in particular with the opportunity to eat a balanced, healthy and free diet. To this end, they run a lunchtime table with homework supervision and games for children from socially disadvantaged families in their premises on Annenstraße from Mondays to Fridays.
