Why am I involved with "Arul Trust"? – Today: Heike Rotter



Today we introduce our club member Heike Rotter, who worked for many years as an administrative officer for the Catholic pastoral unit Leimen-Nußloch-Sandhausen.

Regarding her membership in the support association “Arul Trust”, Heike Rotter says:

“I have known Father Arul Lourdu for over 12 years through our professional collaboration. Over the years, through many confidential conversations, I have learned a great deal about his homeland of India and the poverty and suffering of its people. For a long time now, I have supported projects that Father Lourdu has initiated in his homeland. Consequently, it was a natural step for me to also become involved with the Arul Trust. With this organization, I can be certain that donations reach those in need directly and in full, without any funds being spent on administration or bureaucracy. Many members of the organization are deeply committed and work entirely on a voluntary basis. I fully support the purposes for which donations are used, as stipulated in the organization's charter, especially the promotion of women's independence and education, as well as access to education and medical care for all people. Thanks to the recent amendment to the charter, it is now possible to use donations to combat poverty not only in India, but worldwide. What is taken for granted in Europe is often a reality in many countries around the world.” It depends on people's financial means. This injustice is being addressed through numerous projects initiated by the Arul Trust. Even small donations can make a big difference and help many people in India and many other countries around the world. I lead a privileged life here in Germany and want to give something back to those less fortunate through my involvement and financial contributions.
