Help for poor children: Christmas joy through the shooting star!

In Saxony-Anhalt, the poverty rate is alarming: every fourth child is affected. A remarkable step towards the support of poor families is taken by the “Sternschnuppe” association of the Child Protection Association. Here, families not only receive help with their children's homework, but also with dealing with problems in everyday life. The situation at Christmas time becomes particularly serious when financial bottlenecks are even more noticeable, such as mdr reported .

To bring some Christmas joy to the children and their families, the association "Sternschnuppe" baked cookies before the holidays and sang songs. Daniela Liedmann, head of the Child Protection Federation Mansfeld-Südharz, emphasizes the importance of this initiative: "The children are seen here. It is played and learned with the children." In addition, there are many desired Christmas trees in the region, on which notes of the children hang. This system enables people to contribute directly to improve the life situation of these children, as explained on the side of the Kinderschutz-Bunde .

Research shows that poverty in Saxony-Anhalt is strongly correlated with unemployment. Many people do not find a job, which further exacerbates the financial situation of the families. Especially at Christmas time, a time that is often associated with joy and gifts, this represents a special challenge. The actions of the association can create bright spots and show how important it is to provide support for disadvantaged children.
