Made it: arrival of the truck in Syria!
After a 20-day journey, the time had finally come yesterday: our truck - filled with donations in kind from Austria and Germany - made it across the border to Syria!

With donations amounting to EUR 16,000, we were able to finance a large photovoltaic system with buffer storage for a hospital in the largest city in the Syrian region of Rojava.
In the huge refugee camps, the so-called "mobile painting room" is another important part of our work. In total, we have already opened seven painting rooms for around 800 children - that was a lot of creativity and fun!
After a complicated four-hour border procedure, our aid team has now arrived safely in the Rojava region in north-eastern Syria.
We not only want to give, but above all we want to warm hearts, live solidarity and laugh together.
Pupils from different parts of Austria write lovingly designed letters, which we then hand over to the pupils in our schools in Beirut.
Our two school projects in Beirut/Lebanon are very close to our hearts. So we seized the opportunity and used our trip to Syria to visit these projects.
After many days of collecting and sorting the donations in kind, we were able to load the truck with the relief supplies and send it on its way!
So that we can distribute the relief supplies locally in a targeted and sensible way, it is important to sort them clearly.
We are always overwhelmed by how well and harmoniously our human family functions, if only we let it.
