Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V.

We are proud and delighted to report on our donation of €500 to the Dominik-Brunner-Haus run by Johanniter Unfall Hilfe in Munich-Ramersdorf. With our contribution, we are supporting an institution that cares for socially disadvantaged children and young people with great commitment and opens up new perspectives for them.

The Dominik Brunner House is a drop-in center for children and young people who need individual support. Many of the children cared for come from families with a migration or refugee background and often have to contend with difficult starting conditions. The aim of the facility is to enable these young people to successfully complete their schooling and integrate into society.

Around 75 children and young people find a place that offers them security and support at the Dominik Brunner House. Care begins in the crèche and extends beyond kindergarten to various youth groups. Through academic support, targeted learning and language support as well as motor and creative activities, the children are encouraged to expand their skills and develop positively. The facility also offers social training to help young people strengthen their social skills and actively take control of their future.

The educational concept of the Dominik Brunner House is particularly impressive. It goes beyond purely academic support and places great emphasis on teaching everyday skills. This includes, for example, preparing meals together and learning how to resolve conflicts peacefully. The intensive care provided by highly qualified specialists creates an environment in which the children and young people can feel comfortable and safe.

Every donation helps to continue this valuable work and offer children and young people positive prospects for the future. As a foundation, it is very important to us to support projects such as the Dominik Brunner House because we firmly believe that a good education and a stable environment are crucial for the development of young people. We are proud to be part of this great project and would like to send out a signal of solidarity and support.

Lacrima is Johanniter's grief counseling service for children and young people. In the Lacrima grief groups, they find an individual way through their grief. Because children grieve differently to adults, they grieve with all their senses and holistically. They don't need much explaining in the group. In this way, the children manage to integrate the loss into their lives in the two years or so that they attend the fortnightly group sessions. The groups are led by volunteer bereavement counselors who are well trained and who commit their free time.
