¡No entiendo! – Patrick’s First Weeks. |

Our weltwärts-volunteer Patrick tells us in his blog article about his first weeks in Costa Rica. He reports on his initial situation of not having understood anything or anybody and how he has already found another home in Limón 2000. |

Update: School Building Project in Limón 2000. |
|
|
Slowly but surely we have been seeing work done in the school building project in Limón 2000. The trenches have been dug out, equipped with tubes, and filled up with concrete. At the back of the construction site a ground foundation has been created. As the foundation had to be installed on a slope, an iron construction needed to be added. Currently the walls are being built with the help of some young people from Limón 2000. |

German Cake Sale at Hábitat para la Humanidad. |
|
|
Our weltwärts-volunteer Henrik has been supported in his fundraising campaign by our two interns Linda and Maria. The three of them have baked German apple cake which they have then sold at our partner organisation Hábitat para la Humanidad. They managed to raise 80 Euros. We would like to thank the three of them for their engagement. If you also wish to support Henrik’s project, you have the opportunity to do so below. |

We would like to express our gratitude to Plista for a productive day full of action. Some of our team diligently painted our new premises. The others, together with our mentees, played indoor volleyball and had a picnic. We are looking forward to working on future projects with Plista. |

|
A big thank you to Zalando. Through their upcycling workshop, Zalando employees have made our new patio and workshop furniture. We will now be able to enjoy many hours on our well-equipped patio for which we extend to you a warm thank you. |

Mentoring Farewell Dinner. |
|
|
On July 3, the Mentoring Farewell Dinner took place in which we wanted to thank our mentors for their active involvement. For one year the mentors have accompanied the individual development of their mentees. At an Arabic dinner, we shared stories of all the events from the past year. We would like to once again express our thanks for a wonderful evening and to everyone who was there. |

Within the scope of our interreligious pilot workshop we invite you, young and old, on Thursday July 20 to a music workshop with Heartbeat. The music workshop takes place on our premises.
Heartbeat brings together young Israelis and Palestinians and creates the opportunity for social change, respect, and trust. It offers a non-violent tool of self-articulation. The voice of music influences the world of the music group Heartbeat. They ask questions and look for solutions to problems such as violence and inequality – for the sake of a secure equal future. |
