We thank you, our dear customers, who have bravely renounced Christmas gifts from SHERA. With the "saved money" we have certainly also done a lot of good in your sense. And we thank the SHERA team who suggested these great associations and institutions. The red sofa in the SHERA was therefore well occupied at the Spendenkaffeeklatsch with the representatives of the ten institutions that received donations totaling 15,000 euros from the SHERA at the end of 2019.
Here you can read what happens with the money:
A SHERA donation went to Berlin. The people from Downsyndromberlin e.V. advise parents whose children are born with the genetic defect. They give encouragement, show ways and stand by when it comes to meeting the special needs of these families. (Sponsor Denny Fechner) Downsyndromberlin e.V.
In the Global Classroom Project at Graf-Friedrich-Schule Diepholz, 80 young students from all over the world meet for a conference to discuss global issues. Nicole Dannhus heads this project and is able to cover part of the costs with the donation.

From the SHERA donation pot, the food distribution of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Lemförde finances a small Christmas present for children up to 14 years of age. Helga Storck is happy to be able to use the money to make things possible for which there would otherwise never be any funds. (Godmother Stefanie Gardemann)

From Hospizstiftung and Hospiz Stemweder Berg, Dr. Friedhelm Lehrich and Nicole Otte visited us. The SHERA donation is used to finance the training of volunteer hospice helpers who assist the dying and their relatives on their difficult journey. (Sponsor Jens Grill) Hospice Foundation Stemweder Berg
At St. Anna Hospice in Dinklage, the donation will be used to modernize the kitchen - to have a nice room where, for example, the relatives of dying people can feel as comfortable as possible. (Patron Simone Klein) St. Anna Hospice in Dinklage
Jessica Mack reports on the cultural and educational activities of the Filmtheater Universum cultural association in Bohmte. The donation goes into the new LED lighting and thus helps to save electricity and money in the long term - an investment in the future for even more cabaret, theater or great cinema in the province. (Sponsor Martin Becker) Cultural Association "Filmtheater Universum
Matthias Buck from the Quernheim Volunteer Fire Department explained why the SHERA financial injection is a blessing for firefighting and life-saving: it helps to acquire a thermal imaging camera. This can be used to detect hidden pockets of embers, for example in house walls, or missing persons after a traffic accident. (Godmother Anja Sander)
In the youth handball division of TUS Lemförde, the donation contributed to teambuilding among young people. The handball players of different teams met for a weekend training with a professional trainer, afterwards they had pizza and a lot of fun together. (Godmother Anna Happ) TUS Lemförde (sports club), handball division
Marie Kammerahl from the nursery "Am See" now curves in Hüde with your XXL stroller to the Dümmer and can take all seven children at the same time. The donation was just right for the extra purchase. (Godmother Tabea Lammers) Ev.-luth. day nursery "Am See" Hüde / day nursery association Diepholz
The SHERA donation was music to the ears of Bernhard Hülskötter, director of the Mesumer Männer Chor 1927 e.V. He uses it as a grant for an opera concert at the ironworks, which the choir puts on stage on a voluntary basis (sponsor Alfred Rettinghausen) Mesumer Männer Chor 1927 e.V.
