Books for the youth: warm donation to the wedding in Warmbad!

As an expression of the connection and the commitment for young people, the association "Soldiers with Heart" and the Sankt Stanislaus Order presented a valuable book donation to the youth living community in Warmbad. The reason for this generous gesture was the wedding of Jennifer and Martin Kusterigg, which provided the proceeds from a tightening tape auction for the purchase of current youth books. In addition to bestsellers, the club president John Patrick Platzer also presented ten copies of his own book "Cara and John's Sternenbank".

This surrounding action underlines the important role that books and reading material can play for young people. The stories should encourage young people and support them in their spiritual development. When handing over to the shared apartment, not only the young people were present who were happy about the visit, but also a social worker who emphasized the relevance of such human actions. She emphasized how important it is that young people feel that others are interested in their concerns.

The importance of support and commitment

Martin Kusterigg, who also acts as the knight of the order and board member of the association, explained that the book donation was more than just a gift. It should represent a sign of connection and appreciation towards the young people, especially in times of personal and social challenges. In such phases, young people need orientation and appreciation to better master their life situation.

This form of help and support is particularly important because the promotion of projects in child and youth welfare has increased through foundations in recent years. Due to cuts in public funds, many youth projects are dependent on private donations and foundations. According to the youth welfare portal, over 26,000 foundations are registered in Germany that are committed to the concerns of children and adolescents. Around 7,000 of which focus specifically on youth welfare.

foundations and funding opportunities

The need for support measures is also illustrated by the listed foundations that enable projects to promote children and adolescents. An example of this is the Swiss Life Foundation for Aviation and Future, which promotes education and social projects in Germany. The foundation has 100,000 euros annually for non -profit organizations. Similar to the Goldbeck Foundation, which supports regional projects and, above all, places value on sustainability.

In a time when public funds become rare, the commitment of private individuals and organizations such as "soldiers with a heart" is invaluable. The presentation of the books to the youth residential community of Contrast is not only a concrete act of helpfulness, but also an encouraging signal for young people that they are not alone in their development and can experience support.
