How Ramu was helped without red tape
Ramu Pechimuthu has been a hardworking man all his life. He worked for many years in a laundry in Tamil Nadu. At some point he was no longer able to do his job and got into financial difficulties. Arul Arakkattalei supported him and other elderly people who have little or no income to survive. He is very grateful that he received a financial allowance because of his age, which is not a given. In India there is still no pension insurance, which is urgently needed for the elderly.
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.
