Why am I involved with “Arul Trust”? – Today: Klaus-Georg Müller

Today we introduce our club member Klaus-Georg Müller:

Mr. Klaus-Georg Müller, born in 1967, is a special needs teacher. He worked for over three decades in the Klinge children's and youth village until he took over the management of the Catholic kindergarten St. Georg in Leimen in 2019 and then the management of the kindergarten St. Josef in Nußloch.

As the head of the kindergarten, it is important to him that the employees, the children and their families, and all visitors enjoy coming and going to the St. Josef kindergarten and can experience a benevolent, attentive atmosphere of togetherness. Mr. Müller sees the kindergarten not only as a place of care and education for the children entrusted to St. Josef, but also as a place of communication and encounter for everyone who shows interest in the St. Josef kindergarten for a variety of reasons.

On his motivation for joining the Arul Trust e. V. association,

Klaus-Georg Müller:

"I have been working with children and young people for over three decades. In the children's village in particular, they were predominantly socially disadvantaged due to their background, their personal development and behavior and the resulting negative status in our society. I also had a lot to do with families in poverty. These families need help and everyday support, which is what I have spent a lot of my life on.

Pastor Lourdu brought me into his parish to manage one of his kindergartens. I got to know him as a pastor who is committed to helping those in need here in Leimen and the surrounding area as well as the poorest in his home country of India. This poverty is completely different, more extreme than what I know and have to deal with in my work. It is very important to me, beyond my own experiences and field of life, to help people in poverty wherever they are. I feel blessed with happiness, contentment and a wonderful field of work. With the Arul Trust e.V. support association, I am sure that my contribution as a member of the association will also be felt locally in India, because Pastor Lourdu stands up for this with his word and personality."

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.
