The Kids to Life foundation gives children in group homes an opportunity to take a break from the home routine and have new experiences in a therapeutic recreational park, the Kids’ Camp in Unterhaching.
Often there is no funding to allow children and adolescents growing up in group homes to have anything like holidays. The initiator of the Kids to Life foundation, Anton Schrobenhauser, was the driving force behind the realization of this special kind of holiday camp. Today the camp, on the shore of a small lake, features numerous opportunities for games and sports, all kinds of animals from rabbits to horses, a picnic ground for barbecues, common rooms and dormitories for children and their counsellors. And more and more smiling faces.
Another goal of Kids to Life is to smooth the way to working life for disadvantaged youth. That is the purpose of the foundation’s new Fit For Work project.
“As one of many committed organizational and financial supporters, I am happy to spread the word about this idea, because every child needs a future.” (Christian Schorbach)
Founded in Hamburg in 2002, the Indivumed company aims at improving opportunities for the treatment of cancer patients. Individumed operates the world’s leading tumour database to support the development of new, individualized approaches to cancer treatment.
The founder of Indivumed, Prof. Hartmut Juhl, was awarded with the 2005 German Founders’ Prize in the “Visionary” category. Working in close cooperation with hospitals and oncologists, he and his international, interdisciplinary team have been able to accumulate a database and a specimen bank that is unique in the world. The database currently holds some 300 records on each of 13,000 cancer patients.
The 2008 donation campaign made an important contribution towards the endowment of the Indivumed foundation. In the future we will continue to support practical cancer research through this foundation.
