The Idea

WHY WOULD ANYONE LEAVE THEIR HOMELAND? 

What drives someone to leave everything behind and start all over again in a foreign country?  

Why do parents of very young children decide to start a new life with only two suitcases?  

Why are people willing to trade a life they have laboriously built for an uncertain future?  

How would I feel in a foreign country whose language I do not speak and whose culture I do not know? 

When I came to Berlin with a child 29 years ago, I was supported and accompanied by a German retired couple - family Erla and Emil Eich. At that time, there were not as many opportunities as today, which made them the only ones who could make life in a foreign country easier for me at the beginning.

In the following years I also met people again and again who were like angels - angels who stayed here on earth with us. Grateful for my new home I could also become a companion for others and wanted to become the one who helps people who - for whatever reason - have left their home, family and friends and are looking for a new home.

Our association is of the opinion that mankind is a wandering folk. For us, the focus is solely on the human being - regardless of his or her origin, gender, religion and ideology, age, sexual orientation and any limitations - as a wanderer, in search of fellow wanderers.

With this basic idea and my experiences I had a dream for a long time, which I could achieve at the beginning of 2018. I founded our association in Aschaffenburg with like-minded people. We come from different countries like Germany, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Russia and Poland. What unites us is that we want to help people who have just arrived in Germany and need help and support to build a new life and find a new home.

In order to be able to cover our association's work in itself and to expand and stabilize our work through new projects, we need strong forces to support us in this vision.

Through donations and voluntary work we can help people in the Aschaffenburg area to integrate; to become and remain part of our local society.
