Behindertenhilfe Bergstraße
Finally, after crossing miles of land and water, here we are at the destination we longed for which is GERMANY.
The Weltwerts programme implemented by Karl Kübel Stiftung has given us the chance to explore a new world. Under this programme, I am placed in an organization named Behindertenhilfe Bergstraße as a volunteer. This is an organization which is 45 years old which was started by an initiative of a parent who thought about creating opportunities for differently abled children.
Today over 200 people with disabilities within the district of Bergstraße are part of the organization. The main aim and goal of the organization is to integrate the people with disabilities into the society and providing them a normal life.
They also have their own Bands and Art exhibitions displaying beautiful paintings done their own painters which shows the amount of independence provided to the differently abled people.
The organization has competent, recognized and efficient partners for customers from industry and business. They have committed and qualified specialist, advanced manufacturing techniques, high quality equipment which is properly being tested.
One of the quotes which delights me the most is that no one is normal - a person is either more or less mentally fit. I hope that my journey in the organization helps them in the best way and guide me to take many lessons back.

Green signal to Haus der Kirche
I know you people will be waiting to hear about our new venture in Germany. It is the Weltwärts programme of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) brought us here in Germany. I have selected the Haus der Kirche as my place of assignment and before I explore the organisation through my senses, I here wanted to share the feelings to you.
Haus der Kirche, located in Heppenheim is a Protestant church organisation which is spreaded across Germany with a total of 73000 members. The organisation has a lot of activities as per the need of the time and the whole society is covered in the projects with a clear vision.
I hope that I could do my best in my abilities and learn as much from an organisation who support people in their personal development and who promote individual competencies and developmental abilities.
