Aegerimärcht 2024

This year, we were able to hold our traditional "Stiftungsbeiz" at the Aegerimärcht for the twentieth time. Despite the cold and wet weather, the atmosphere was good. There was much discussion, talk and laughter over spaghetti, steak and cheese sandwiches with good wine or our foundation beer.

From babies to 6 year old grandfathers, our guests enjoyed the great atmosphere in our marquee. Over 60 helpers, ranging in age from adults to over 80 years old, were on hand to make sure our guests were happy. At the end, we were able to transfer CHF 10,000 to our foundation, another tradition.

A big thank you to everyone and we look forward to the Aegerimärcht 2025!

LIVIA

My time at the "Home of Joy" children's home in Uganda was a formative and enriching experience. During my stay, I was not only able to make a direct contribution to the children's everyday lives, but also gain valuable insights into a different culture and way of life.

I helped look after the children, assisted with everyday tasks and organized playful and creative activities. I was particularly impressed by the warmth and joie de vivre of the children and the commitment of the staff. On site, I experienced a caring and supportive environment in which solidarity and mutual appreciation were tangible.

This experience broadened my view of the world and showed me how important interpersonal commitment is. I am very grateful for my time at the "Home of Joy" - it made me grow personally and I will always remember it.
