Dear friends of the Stift, former, and future Stiftis,
As in past years, we at the Stift look for a social project each semester that we would like to support financially. For this, any possible project can be considered which strives to help and support mankind, animals, or the environment, whether in Göttingen or in the whole world. In order to support the selected project, we make various donation requests throughout the entire semester. This happens, for example, at the Cultural Evening organized by the Stift or through our so-called "Pfandraising", where all proceeds from the donations collected in the corridors of the Stift benefit the project. Further, the income of the Stifts-Party, which is held every semester, is invested in the social project.
For the summer 2016 semester, for example, we were committed to supporting the international Christian charity organization "Mercy Ships". For the winter semester of this year, we agreed to support more local projects.
The magazine "Der TagesSatz" has been sold for 20 years. The honorary researched articles and the interesting title stories originate from writers who monthly write about new cultural, political, and current social topics. There is, however, a far deeper purpose behind the sale of ?Der TagesSatz.? The magazine is being sold by people who are struggling with social difficulties and who are in challenging life situations. "Der TagesSatz" is designed to help people in need to live a life of dignity, and those who are unable to help themselves overcome the difficulties they face. Sales on the street offer employees the opportunity to convey their perspective of everyday social life to outsiders. In addition, the fixed working time and the fixed task bring structure back into the lives of the people. All further background information on "Der TagesSatz" and their objectives can be found on their website www.tagessatz.de.
As with any other social project, every euro is important. This is why we ask you to donate for "Der TagesSatz", no matter how big or small the amount is. Alternatively, as a Stift-Community, we recommend that you buy the street magazine at the next convenient opportunity
Finally, we would like to thank all those who have already donated for the social project!
The Stift,
December 2016
