Dear friends and supporters, Half of the year has already passed and schools have been closed for more than three months now. It is not easy to draw a holistic picture of the current learning situation because, as in many countries, there is no single picture. Universities and many of the expensive private schools have […]
Dear friends and supporters, It is probably no understatement to say that 2020 is quite a difficult year.

Dear friends and supporters, It is no secret that Deutsche Post DHL in Germany has been actively supporting us for many years. Current and former employees are among our supporters and members.

A more detailed description of the visit and the different events during this time can be found in our newsletter 03/2019. It can be found HERE.
