This year, from November 29 to December 13, a total of 70 projects will be funded all over Germany that are based on the model of St. Nicholas. This initiative shows that each of us has the opportunity to do good and help others.

"It can be very easy to do good," explains Monsignor Georg Austen, Secretary General of the Bonifatiuswerk. "When we look over our own box with an attentive eye, places of good deeds are created - in the spirit of St. Nicholas." The campaign is part of the "Santa Claus -Free Zone", which was launched 22 years ago to focus on the Christian values ​​of Santa Claus.
