A report from our member Thomas Messerer Sometimes everything just fits together like there’s some invisible force (Fate? God? Gaia? The flying spaghetti monster?) that somehow makes it all tie together. That’s how I felt as the following story unfolded that I have to tell you about. First act, Oleg’s appearance: Oleg, whom I met …
We have now delivered a good two dozen PCs to refugees in Middle Franconia. This week we received 5 donated HP Pavilions that have Windows license issues. Before we buy licenses, let’s just try something new!
From January, the language school linguademia will be one of our partners. We will equip refugees who are taking courses at the language school with PCs to take part in online courses. We look forward to working together and being able to help even more people!
At the beginning of July, we received an urgent request for a transporter via the “nebenan.de” network. None of the “usual” contacts up until now had a transporter, and there was nothing suitable to get from the rental companies – and it was urgent. What happened? After 8 months of emergency accommodation, Jawid and his …
Yesterday we donated 4 PCs to the Nürnberger Barracudas (a cooperation between Post SV Nürnberg and the swimming department of 1. FC Nürnberg) for accommodation for Ukrainian youth. The fugitives are members of Ukrainian teams that were brought to Franconia after Russian forces attacked Nuremberg’s twin city of Kharkiv.

We didn’t want to simply hand the computers over to another club either, so Spencer set himself the task of looking for suitable recipients through private contacts …
The pictures of the women and children fleeing the Ukraine made it clear to our member Spencer relatively quickly that, after being admitted to Germany, PCs were urgently needed in addition to the “usual” aids (food, clothing, food, care). – namely PCs, not notebooks. Why PCs and not notebooks? Well, that’s relatively easy to explain: …
If you get pledges of donations relatively quickly, then you ask yourself how you should bag everything in a legally secure manner – on the one hand, so that the tax authorities don’t hit their fingers, on the other hand, so that the donors can see what happens to the donations.< /p> No sooner said …
When it became clear at the beginning of March that millions of people would make their way west from Ukraine as a result of Russia’s attack on Ukraine, it quickly became clear that help was needed. It was also clear that the large aid organizations needed lead time in order to be able to take …
