Ingrid van Aalst from the Bocholt-based association Child Care Afrika e.V. was delighted to receive half of the donation, which will be used to set up its current school project for children aged 11-15 in Togo, Africa. Sebastian Schröer from the association Jugendhilfe und Soziale Integration, jusina e.V. for short, was also visibly delighted with the donation of 1,250 euros. Schröer: “We will use the money for cultural and leisure activities that will benefit children and young people from needy families in Bocholt. It is a valuable help for our planned program in 2018.” The Bocholt-based Family-owned business is donating a further 1,250 euros to the CED-Helferkreis Bocholt (formerly FAMI), represented by Roswitha Beckers, for an educational project in the slums near Calcutta in India.
