The Sych family during their visit to India in 2015

Why am I involved with “Arul Trust”?

Today, the 2nd chairman of our support association Arul Trust eV, Christian Sych, introduces himself and his motivation for his commitment to the support association:

In 2015, my wife Silvia and I took a private trip to South India with our children. We stayed with the family of a nun friend in a small village in the state of Tamil Nadu. The entire family, including several children, lived in a single room in a small house thatched with palm branches. Despite their obvious poverty, we were warmly welcomed, cared for, and cooked for.

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

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

This experience made it clear to us how immediate and individual help can be provided when you know people locally and can provide help directly and effectively to those in need.

I believe that the Arul Trust eV, in cooperation with the Arul Arakkattalai Foundation, is a good and effective way to help where help is needed. That's why my wife and I decided to get involved with the Arul Trust.
