The Sych family during their visit to India in 2015

Why am I committed to “Arul Trust”?

Today, the 2nd chairman of our support association Arul Trust eV, Christian Sych, introduces himself and his motivation for his commitment to the support association:

In 2015, my wife Silvia and I took a private trip to South India with our children. We were guests of a nun friend's family in a small village in the state of Tamil Nadu. The whole family, including several children, lived in a single small room in a small house thatched with palm branches. Despite the obvious poverty, we were given a very warm welcome, looked after and cooked for.

Even small gifts, such as colored pencils and paper, made the children’s eyes light up.

Despite their poverty, the family appears happy and content, but they still lacked basic things, such as the money needed to send their daughter to school. Our son decided to donate some of the money he had given her for her First Communion to the girl's education. Even a small amount was enough to ensure that she could attend school for a year.

This experience made it clear to us how immediate and individual help can be provided when you know people locally and can provide help directly and effectively to those in need.

I am convinced that the Arul Trust eV support association in cooperation with the Arul Arakkattalai Foundation is a good and effective way to help where help is needed. That is why my wife and I have decided to get involved with the Arul Trust support association.
