"How you develop in life also depends on the opportunities you are given. As a child in Switzerland, all paths were open to me. I enjoyed going to school and felt it was a privilege to be able to choose freely how I educated myself and continued my education. Today, it makes me happy to use my energy to ensure that children in need also have the chance to lead a happy and self-determined life."

Vice President
"Ever since I was allowed to watch my children grow up, I have been aware of the importance of care and resonance in every young life. I support the work of Kinderhilfe Emmaus because it gives children in particularly disadvantaged circumstances the chance to be supported and strengthened as they grow up."

"Our world is becoming more and more financially divided into different classes due to economic pressure. Random things like 'where you come from', 'who you are' and 'where you belong' are often the only reason for which side you are on in life. In this sense, some charitable work for the 'weaker' is an important task in any society."

Volunteering
Emmaus Children's Relief works with many volunteers in Switzerland. These volunteers make their free time and experience available to Children's Relief Emmaus free of charge. Our office often resembles a buzzing beehive in which the employees go about their various activities. They diligently carry out administrative and bookkeeping work, translations, organizational tasks and much more on a regular or sporadic basis. The joint voluntary work leads to rewarding encounters. In addition, the commitment broadens the horizon for the problems of the Third World and awakens feelings, thoughts and understanding for foreign cultures.
