A heart for children: drift trip as an unforgettable Christmas present!

Melk, Österreich - An unforgettable day full of adrenaline and joy recently experienced children with special needs at the waxing ring in Melk. Directed by Gregor Badura, an experienced driving technique instructor of the ÖAMTC, they were able to ride in a 300 hp rally car. This was not only a highlight for the children, but also a matter close to the heart for the entire team, which included the former head of the ÖAMTC driving technology center Hans Danzinger and drift state champion Thomas Graf. Badura emphasized that it was the greatest luck to see the shining eyes of the children and that such events are meaningful because they also make the parents happy, such as reports .

These drift trips were a unique experience for the children. An enthusiastic father said that his son had great joy while driving and felt no fear. The relaxed atmosphere after the rapid ride was unmistakable. Another participant found the experiences so impressive that he is already hoping for a repetition of the 'Christmas Drift Ride' in the coming year. Such events not only offer adventures, but also create memories that remain for a lifetime.

While such positive experiences are estimated in Austria, the questionable reality of the poverty of children in Germany is not ignored. According to the Factsheet of the Bertelsmann Foundation, almost 2.9 million children and adolescents under the age of 18 are at risk of poverty in Germany. Terrifying 20.8 % of this age group are therefore affected by poverty. The group of young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 in particular suffers with a poverty rate of 25.5 %. These alarming statistics underpin the need for effective measures to combat child poverty, as well as BildungsServer.de notes .
