The Sych family during their visit to India in 2015

Why am I involved with "Arul Trust"?

Today, the second chairman of our support association Arul Trust eV, Christian Sych, introduces himself and his motivation for his involvement in the support association:

In 2015, my wife Silvia and I took a private trip to South India with our children. We stayed in a small village in the state of Tamil Nadu with the family of a friend who is a nun. The entire family, including several children, lived in a small house thatched with palm branches, in a single room. Despite their obvious poverty, we received a very warm welcome, were well cared for, and were treated to delicious meals.

Even small gifts, like colored pencils and paper, made the children's eyes light up.

Despite their poverty, the family seemed happy and content, yet they lacked basic necessities, such as the money needed to send their daughter to school. Our son decided to donate some of the money he received for his First Communion to this girl's education. Even a small amount was enough to secure her schooling for a year.

This experience made it clear to us how immediate and individual help can be provided when you know people on site and can ensure that help directly and effectively benefits those in need.

In my opinion, the Arul Trust e.V. support association, in cooperation with the Arul Arakkattalai Foundation, is a good and effective way to help where help is needed. That is why my wife and I decided to get involved with the Arul Trust support association.
