Class 9b, led by homeroom teacher Dr. Rainer Nietzke, is involved in a sustainable aid project <\/strong><\/p>\n

On January 12, 2010, an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale devastated the island nation of Haiti. Since then, Steinm\u00fchle has regularly supported the organization Haiticare and most recently donated 3,424.24 euros\u2014funds raised through various fundraising activities organized by Class 9b. <\/p>\n

The initiative was launched by a student from Marburg who, in January 2010, served as a first responder immediately after the earthquake in Haiti and approached Steinm\u00fchle School Principal Bernd Holly with a request for support. That very same day\u2014following a lecture by the internationally renowned educator Jesper Juul at Steinm\u00fchle\u2014Holly asked the numerous attendees for donations. It marked the beginning of long-term support for a special aid project. <\/p>\n

316,000 people died in the natural disaster. Another 310,000 were seriously injured, and 1.85 million people lost their homes. The damage is estimated at the equivalent of about 5.4 billion euros. Thousands of people are still living in temporary shelters today. <\/p>\n


\nStudent involvement has raised over 20,000 euros so far <\/strong><\/p>\n

To date, students at Steinm\u00fchle High School have raised a total of more than 20,000 euros to support this impressive project in a slum in Port-au-Prince, the capital of the impoverished Caribbean nation. And time and again since 2010, students at Steinm\u00fchle High School have volunteered to collect donations for Haiticare. This includes the current 9th-grade class, which raised awareness of the plight in Haiti through various activities and also set up an information booth in Marburg\u2019s Oberstadt to solicit donations. <\/p>\n

Class 9b, led by their homeroom teacher Dr. Rainer Nietzke, has been particularly active. The students didn\u2019t just bake waffles and sell them for donations. Another major source of revenue was live music by the class band \u201cCarrrla,\u201d which played well-known pop songs. <\/p>\n

HaitiCare is a small German aid organization run by volunteers, ensuring that 100 percent of donations actually reach the children in Haiti. The registered association HaitiCare focuses its aid efforts on the country\u2019s youth\u2014its future. Donations go toward an orphanage, a Montessori kindergarten, a Montessori preschool, and a Montessori school, as well as learning materials and classroom equipment such as shelves and tables. Investments are made in the education of young people, with programs ranging from skilled trades to agriculture and IT professions. This has created\u2014and continues to create\u2014paid and secure jobs. <\/p>\n
