Letters against loneliness: Students give seniors hope for Christmas
In the run -up to Christmas, students and committed citizens wrote over 1100 Christmas cards and letters that were collected as part of the “Letters against Loneliness” campaign by Youngaritas, the youth area of the Caritas Association for Würzburg. The lovingly designed messages are passed on to senior citizens who live in nursing homes or are looked after by the Caritas social stations. According to Mainpost , the project originated in the Corona period, as the isolation of the older people was particularly noticeable. Even today, after pandemic, loneliness remains a widespread social problem that affects people of all ages.beautiful Christmas cards for a good cause
