Coaches report
The coaches of our sponsorship program commit themselves to the limits of their resilience in favor of needy children and families. With most of them we successfully cooperate for decades. Their reports move and motivate us again and again to help the poorest.
Courage to humanity
The tireless commitment of the responsible people of our partner institutions in developing countries deserve our respect. Together with the godchildren and their families they do an excellent job. Each and every one is essential.

«I am already old and have achieved quite a lot. It was always moving to see how hard-hearted people gave in. I think one can realize all you had intended to do. However, it takes a lot of patience and you must set a good example. According to the saying: ‹The word thunders, the example carries along.›»

«What does motivate me for social activity? I think it is the bitter experience to have been an orphan myself. When I was six months old I was taken up in an orphanage. It was dreadful to go through life alone. Everything I have become I owe the care by the nuns in the home. Today, I take care of orphan children myself.»

«During the hurricane the buildings were 3,5 metres under water. All around people climbed onto the roofs of their houses. There, some mothers lost their babies in the torrential waters. When the water left the site of the social center, it required 272 trucks to transport away all the mud.»

«My father worked in a bakery, my mother was illiterate. To be able to cope with the requirements at school I depended on receiving pencils and notebooks as a gift from other children. This is what impressed me. We are all different from each other, imperfect and incomparable. Yet everybody may for others be a source for happiness.»

«The fights between the legalists and the soldiers of the interim government dayly cost the lives of many people. The attacks on members of the former government and arbitrary arrests increase. At night we wake up by shots and loud screams. Our misfortune is great. Schools are often closed for days.»

«When our late, now deceased president Abdul K. was involved with children he used to advise them to dream every day. We all dream countless dreams, yet but a few of them become reality. The dream of Children’s Care Emmaus came true. Without this dream the dreams of thousands of children would have been useless.»
