Why am I committed to “Arul Trust”? – Today: Katharina Zinser

Today we introduce our club member Katharina Zinser, head of the St. Michael kindergarten in Nußloch:

Katharina Zinser has been a teacher at the St. Michael kindergarten in Nußloch since day one and took over the management of the facility in 2008. Before that, she worked for several years in youth and residential care.

Regarding her membership in the “Arul Trust” support association, Ms Zinser writes:

"Arul Lourdu came to Nußloch as a pastor in the same year and became head of the Leimen-Nußloch-Gauangelloch pastoral unit. During his regular visits to the kindergarten, attendance at parties and parents' evenings and much more, Pastor Lourdu learned to appreciate the work of our employees and always supported them. In the many one-on-one conversations we had with each other over the years, a great relationship of trust and mutual appreciation was built up, which supported me a lot in challenging times. My team and I could always count on him.

When Father Lourdu asked me to support the "Arul Trust" association, I did not hesitate and became a member of the support association. Over the years, I have experienced him as a benefactor beyond the local and national borders. I appreciate his commitment, in addition to all his other tasks and duties, not to forget those in need and in need of help. Of course, the support association's help primarily reaches India, his home country, but at least I know that the support is definitely needed and that he knows the suffering of this one person and that I can help with a small contribution. I am blessed with health and a carefree life and I would like to share that with other people."

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.
