Why am I committed to “Arul Trust”?

Why am I involved with “Arul Trust”? – Today: Waltraud Leypold

The second chairman of the Arul Trust eV support association, Christian Sych, spoke with club member Waltraud Leypold from Nußloch. Waltraud Leypold is a Nußloch native and an indispensable part of Nußloch. Mrs. Leypold is not only known as the wife of the old local councilor and former deputy mayor and honorary citizen Gerhard Leypold. Waltraud Leypold has been involved in voluntary work in Nußloch for many decades, particularly in the gymnastics department of the SG Nußloch, but also as a team member in the Catholic Education Center and as a former member of the parish council of the Catholic parish of St. Laurentius.

When asked why Ms. Leypold is involved as a member of the support association, she answered very clearly: "As a devout Christian, it is important to me to broaden my view beyond the regional commitment in my own community and not to overlook the suffering of people in the wider world." Ms. Leypold has great confidence in the board of the support association. Arul Lourdu, Christian Sych and Manfred Weida would use their good names to guarantee that the membership fees and donations are used reliably and directly on site in India, said Ms. Leypold.

Ms. Leypold would be pleased if her example could inspire other people from Nußloch and Leimen to support the association’s goals.

Our first Christmas market appearance in Leimen

For the first time since our association was founded, we ran a hut at the traditional Leimen Christmas market. Our Indian sisters cooked delicious food together, which everyone could try. There was Tamil rice with meat or vegetables. Dessert was also provided. There were salty and sweet delicacies. Of course, mulled wine was a must. Anyone who wanted could try Indian black tea, which was refined with spices. The creative women's group from Nußloch made door and Advent wreaths for the association. Decorated Christmas trees to hang up, homemade jams and much more were also sold.

We would like to thank everyone who made it possible for our stand to take place at the Christmas market, who visited us and who, through their purchases, helped to support new social projects around the world.
