It has become a cherished tradition that the proceeds from this volunteer-driven fundraising event are donated to the partner kindergarten, St. Elizabeth, in Ukunda, Kenya. Recently, the handover of this year’s donation amounting to 300 Euro took place, with the funds being presented to Albert and Christel Lehmann.
Making a Difference in Ukunda, Kenya
The annual donation plays a vital role in supporting various local initiatives, including small expansions, renovations, and repair works in the kindergarten located in Ukunda, Kenya. For many years, Albert and Christel Lehmann have been flying to Kenya once a year, personally delivering the much-needed aid and providing support to the local kindergarten. This year, they are joined by their grandson and successor, Sven Lehmann, ensuring the continuity of their charitable efforts.
