Furth. Once again this year, the Catholic Youth Community (KjG) in Furth donated the proceeds from its cake sale at the autumn market to two social projects. €600 each will go to the Marist project in Kenya and to Sister Gabriele in Zimbabwe. Pia Dierl and Franziska Halbinger from the KjG board presented the donation checks. The Marist Brothers run two schools, Our Lady of Orore and Bishop Mugendi School in Roo on Lake Victoria, where children receive an education. Brother Andreas Krupp, advisor to the Maristen Solidarität International e.V. association and superior of the Furth monastery, accepted the donation for the Marist project. Ms. Karoline Popp attended the donation ceremony on behalf of Sister Gabriele’s project. The “Cakes for Kenya” fundraising campaign is a long-standing tradition in Furth. The KjG took over the project in 2003 and has since raised over €19,000 for both projects.
A heartfelt thank you to all the initiators and participants of the KjG Furth!
