Once again this year, the Catholic Young Community (KjG) Furth donated the proceeds from the cake sale at the Furth market to two social projects. €750 each went to the Marist project in Kenya and to Sister Gabriele in Zimbabwe. Pia Dierl from the KjG board presented the donation checks. In the schools “Our Lady of Orore” and in the “Bishop Mugendi School” in Roo on Lake Victoria, the Marist Brothers run two schools where children receive an education. Peter Dierl, Chairman of the Maristen Solidarität International e.V. association, accepted the donation on behalf of the Marist project. Karoline Popp, representing Sister Gabriele’s project, came to the donation presentation. The “Cake for Kenya” fundraising campaign is a long-standing tradition in Furth. The KjG took over and continued the project in 2003 and has since collected over €18,500 for both projects.
Many thanks to all initiators and participants of the KjG Furth!
