Together strong: How every single hope can give!
Wien, Österreich - The Viennese Caritas director Klaus Schwertner emphasized in a recent interview how important it is to change society together positively. Around 50,000 volunteers are involved in Caritas, who make a valuable contribution through numerous actions, from the food edition for the homeless to the support of children from families from poverty. Schwertner underlines that each individual can contribute to social transformation through small and large deeds. On the platform www.fuereinand.at are registered with several initiatives that specifically provide help and connect people.
Courage and humanity
In view of the current crises, including inflation and the spread of false information, it is crucial to focus on positive actions. Schwertner emphasizes that it is often the preservation of one's own humanity that makes a difference. Although the term “good man” is often negatively connoted, it sees this helpfulness as essential for society. "Every soup that we distribute, every spoken word and every form of help combat emergencies and bring hope," explains Schwertner. He calls on to only temporarily contribute to the community to achieve positive effects.A personal touch in Caritas brings Alexander Bodmann, who has been Caritas director of the Archdiocese of Vienna since February 2023. Bodmann started his career at Caritas in 1997 in the area of homeless help and has worked into the management team in various functions since then. He is also Vice President of Caritas Austria and is also committed to the treasurer of Caritas Internalis at an international level. His career and commitment are an inspiring example of the values of Caritas and the impact, which individual efforts can have on the entire system of social aid.
