Our colleague was a part of it

From 26 - 30 December 2019 the aid packages were transported to one of the poorest regions of Romania, where they were distributed to needy families. There are people living in poverty in the countryside in particular. Their lives are characterised by high unemployment, insufficient healthcare provision and uncertain future prospects. And those are exactly the issues we would like to tackle. Showing a great deal of #believeinyourself, one member of our Time Bank team, Jennifer Pencs, travelled with the Johanniter to southern Romania to see for herself how our aid was being received.

An unforgettable moment

“It was incredible to see the shining eyes of the children and their parents, who were already there waiting for us when we arrived. I found their gratitude extremely moving - it was an unforgettable moment,” 

said Jennifer Pencs, clearly welling up with emotion. The Johanniter’s Romanian partner organisation has even initiated a follow-up project, which aims to teach the children who received packages what is meant by sustainability and to encourage them to commit to protecting the environment. We on the Time Bank team feel totally justified once again in believing in our and our employees’ ability to make a positive contribution to society - because, of course, this would not have been possible without the engagement of all our colleagues.

Thank you to everyone who gave such active support to this aid campaign!
