The exclusion of these children is not only noticeable at the end of the school holidays, when the children talk about their experiences during the breaks. This exclusion has far-reaching consequences for their later development.
We as a foundation have set ourselves the goal of organising a holiday camp again this year with the support of sponsors. In 2015, 40 children aged 7-12 years were able to experience fun and games in various programmes at the idyllic camp of the Henry Maske Foundation at Beetzsee (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). The motto this time was "Manege frei" (free ring), and a colourful circus programme was presented at the end of the holiday period.
A big thank you goes to our main sponsor, Dr. Nitzsche from the Rosental Clinic in Leipzig, as well as to the volunteer carers who looked after the children with great commitment during this time.
