this is us
We are one of over fifty nationwide volunteer groups affiliated Terre des Hommes , and a rather small one at that. Since 2004, we have been working together with Terre des Hommes between Bremen and Oldenburg to advocate for children and their rights.
We six active members…
- They have a combined total of 420 years of life "under their belts"
- Combined, they have all worked for Terre des Hommes for over 100 years
- stand firmly on their own feet with an average shoe size of 40
- are big & magnificent - together with a total of 10.22 m
Together we have lots of ideas, quite a bit of work - and lots of fun.
Our focus areas
We in Delmenhorst and Ganderkesee feel compelled to act whenever children's rights are violated anywhere in the world. Based on our own experiences and many years of work, the living conditions of street children and exploitative child labor are particular focal points of our work.
We want to highlight perspectives that enable disadvantaged children in particular to break out of the vicious cycle of poverty and exploitation, exercise their rights, and lead self-determined lives. These are opportunities that Terre des Hommes ' project partners continually create in the children's diverse living environments. Of central importance to us in this context is the realization of children's right to education and the right of all children to participation.
To raise awareness of our concerns among the local population, we conduct public awareness campaigns, organize exhibitions and information booths, and collect donations. Members of our working group give presentations, work with school classes and youth groups on our key topics, and lobby locally, for example, for fair trade conditions with developing countries.
To ensure our work is effective, we maintain contacts with schools, other educational institutions, associations and human rights initiatives.
