On November 17 at 4:30 p.m. at the marketplace in Rheine/candles for a small donation.
Rheine.cpr. As every year, Caritas international, the relief organization of German Caritas, is once again calling for the “One Million Stars” solidarity campaign in 2023. Throughout Germany, Caritas associations set a sign of hope with the campaign – for people in need here and around the world. Caritas employees and citizens will light candles and light up public places.
Caritas Rheine will also participate in this action and set its sign of hope on Friday, November 17, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. in the market square in Rheine.
The candles can be acquired either directly on 17 November on the market place or in the apron in the info. center in the Caritas house to the Lingener road 11 for a symbolic donation at a value of 3 euro. The proceeds of the action go in each case to Caritas international as well as to leisure offers of the advice center for humans with handicap.
In the focus of the action the assistance of the Caritas international in Tadschikistan is located this year. Thousands of children and young people there grow up as orphans or social orphans in state-run homes that do not prepare them for life as adults. As a result, many former children slip into homelessness and crime. Donations finance vocational preparation courses such as computer work, foreign language acquisition, craftsmanship and housekeeping. Through various recreational activities such as team sports, field trips, music or writing competitions, the young people can discover and develop their talents and gain self-confidence.
The donations that benefit the counseling center for people with disabilities are used for a wide range of offers for people with disabilities. Various leisure and group offers provide relief for relatives and offer the chance for an inclusive, active and self-determined leisure time. These include, for example, day trips to amusement parks, concerts or sporting events.
