With their report cards and several awards for special achievements both inside and outside of school, Steinm\u00fchle sent its students off on summer break today. Grades may be important to some. But volunteer work in the social sector is particularly highly valued at Steinm\u00fchle. For example, Upper School Director Constanze Oestreicher-Gold had already highlighted the commitment of Elsa Stremme (left) and her two classmates, Leticia G\u00fcnther (center) and Amelie Laukel, all from the 12th grade, as exemplary. The trio, along with other students from various grade levels, received recognition for their outstanding contributions in the social sector. <\/p>\n

Support for Children with Leukemia and Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a personal conversation, we learned that Elsa, Leticia, and Amelie have been supporting the organization \u201cParents\u2019 Initiative for Children with Leukemia and Cancer\u201d for years\u2014on a volunteer basis and consistently. Their commitment is quiet and unassuming, focused on children of various ages and their parents, who are often overwhelmed by the situation and, as Elsa Stremme puts it, \u201cgrateful for any help.\u201d It\u2019s the presence of these three Steinm\u00fchlen students\u2014their willingness to lend a hand at events or read to children, their willingness to listen to questions, their reassuring words, their advice, and their intuition for instinctively sensing who needs help at any given moment and how best to provide it. \u201cWe\u2019re here to do whatever we can,\u201d says Elsa Stremme. The three high school students help organize events and workshops, contribute creative ideas, and shop for supplies for barbecues. <\/p>\n

“It’s nice to see them doing better”<\/strong><\/p>\n

It would be untrue to claim that the three young women are not deeply moved by the children\u2019s plight. The young people affected by illness at the Parents\u2019 Initiative for Children with Leukemia and Cancer are up to 18 years old or just a little older, and the progression of their illnesses is part of what Elsa, Leticia, and Amelie witness. \u201cWe\u2019ve gotten to know the children by now,\u201d they say, \u201cand it\u2019s so wonderful to see them grow their hair back after chemo. To see them feeling better again.\u201d <\/p>\n

Families Share Their Fate<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Parents\u2019 Initiative for Children with Leukemia and Cancer is located at Steinweg 34 in Marburg. For many affected children and adolescents\u2014as well as their parents\u2014it serves as a safe haven where they can meet others who share their circumstances. Precisely because they understand how important this is, the association\u2019s members welcome anyone who wants to help. This can mean lending a hand, making monetary donations, or even donating specific items\u2014provided these are arranged in advance. You can contact the parents\u2019 initiative by phone or email; see the website at https:\/\/eltkmr.de\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n
