Monday, 24 august 2015My first day with the people of the refugee camp.
I had wanted to paint inside the camp with children for free, but I was not allowed / accepted by the responsibles.
So I joined a volunteer group who works outside the camp.
Never I will forget this first day drawing and learning german with children from Syria.
Since Tuesday, 25 august, I learn with adults the german language.
in the early saturday afternoon, 29 August 2015
Drawings by kurdish children from Syria.
When I close my eyes now, I still can see you,
as you came with your Mother to my table
and we spoke the first words together ... on that beautiful day.

Never I will forget you, Mr. K. from Damascus, Syria,
when you spoke german with a smile.
You learned good and so fast, for many hours every day.

These panels I had created in the beginning and I used them in my lessons.
They are still in the tent for everyone to use them.

What we all need: patience.
It is wonderful that the people are now here in safety!
But the german bureaucracy is terrible, is inhuman.
Thats why we say it again and again, and demand it:
What is needed as basic for every support is:
Menschlichkeit = Humanity
die Menschenwürde zu achten = to respect human dignity
!!! I demand
to respect the human dignity
of every single refugee !!!

We met at the camp in the early morning to say good-bye.
Greetings to the students of our group

For my students I have created our own "Memory",

This is so wonderful to share our joy!!!
