F.A.Z. readers help Every year the editorial team of the F.A.Z. two projects that benefit from the “F.A.Z. Readers Help” fundraising campaign. For 2024, the choice fell on the Children’s Aid Organ Transplantation Association, which supports families of children with organ diseases in this country in everything that goes beyond medical care. On the other hand, our readers support the “Pro Uganda” association in building prostheses for children and young people in an orthopedic workshop that has already been set up on site. The association’s money is also used to provide physiotherapeutic care to the young patients. Last year, F.A.Z. readers donated more than half a million euros.

DNP, WWF ThailandEOF, Eyes on the ForestThe largest contiguous forests on the Southeast Asian mainland stretch across the border of Thailand and Myanmar: the Dawna-Tenasserim landscape. It is a species-rich paradise of global importance. But deforestation on an ever-increasing scale is causing problems for the ecosystem. That’s why the WWF launched the EOF, Eyes on the Forest, project in 2019. High-resolution drones and new technologies are intended to help uncover illegal deforestation and poaching. EOF has passed the test run and is now to be expanded to other national parks. Social bank, account DE06 5502 0500 0222 2222 22. johi. Physical Association Frankfurt am MainStudent Telescope Getting students interested in space exploration is not difficult. In order to use the enthusiasm for concrete projects, the Physikalischer Verein, a Frankfurt society for the promotion of education and science, has initiated the construction of a telescope that can be operated remotely in the Spanish region of Trevinca. It is a spectroscopic telescope that can be used to determine their chemical composition from the color spectrum of celestial bodies. School classes, but also groups of young people who are active in astronomy, can work with the device and are supervised by experts.

Pour un sourire d’enfantPour un sourire d’enfantThe initiative comes from a French couple who were traveling through Cambodia. And there he not only discovered the beauty of the country, but also the dark side of terrible child poverty. Little street crooks, water binders, stone crushers: To date, “Pour un sourire d’enfant” looks after around 6,500 children in Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville and Siem Reap. The association, founded in 1995, recently raised 5,500 euros for the roof of a girls’ boarding school, but the task is almost endless. The surface for a sports field, good classrooms, a new computer network, smartphones for distance learning are on the program.
