Giving Children a Future—Commitment to a Better World

Social engagement thrives on people who come together to make a difference. At the Uganda Evening in the Haug-Erkinger Hall in Rechberghausen, about 320 guests gathered to support St. Monica Junior School in Kasanje.

‍

Christian Gaus, president of Uganda-Hilfe Unterland e. V., hosted the evening together with board member and coordinator Fabio Vercelli. Photos, videos, and personal accounts provided insights into the school’s development and encounters with the local children. They highlighted what the support has already made possible and what challenges still lie ahead.

The lower-grade choir from the Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium and the band “Mimmo & Friends” provided musical entertainment. A group dinner, a raffle, and an impromptu art auction rounded out the evening. Thanks to many volunteers and generous supporters, more than 40,000 euros were raised for the school project!

For us, responsibility also means looking beyond our own work. Our involvement in the organization is part of this mindset. We would like to thank everyone who made this evening possible and who is helping to open up better educational and life opportunities for children in Uganda.
