Dear friends, supporters, and partners of New Hope and Light,In this new year, we send you our warmest wishes filled with hope and light.

Your support has allowed us to achieve great things, and we want to sincerely thank you for your dedicated assistance.

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, volunteers, and partner organizations, we were able to reach significant milestones. Through your financial help, we have not only advanced our project for education for sustainable development but also implemented valuable initiatives in Germany and Cameroon.

In this year in review, we want to celebrate not only our successes but also share a special moment – our award for sustainable development. This accolade is a recognition of our collective efforts and has been captured in an impressive video produced in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the UNESCO Commission.

Thanks to the generous support of the UNESCO Commission and the Ministry of Education and Research, within the framework of our national award in the field of Education for Sustainable Development, this video reflects our commitment.

Heartfelt thanks to the UNESCO Commission and the Ministry of Education and Research for this valuable national award.

  II. Highlights 2023

  1.  Education for Sustainability

In our educational programs for sustainable development at schools and extracurricular institutions, we are passionately committed to raising children’s awareness of global perspectives. Here, they not only learn what sustainable development looks like locally and in other countries but also actively create models that illustrate the importance of sustainability to them.

This model house is more than just a project.

2. Example of Sustainable Project

The Neighborhood Project – Media Workshop in Nuekölln

Welcome to our media workshop in Neukölln! Here, children explore the fascinating world of media in a playful and creative manner. From constructing impressive models to creating stop-motion videos, from 3D printing to video editing – our media workshop offers a wide range of activities.

In our program, children not only learn technical skills but also develop their creative talents. They become little directors, photographers, and social media experts. With vibrant campaigns, they bring their ideas to the world and actively shape the digital future.

Through hands-on projects, we not only promote media literacy but also teamwork and the expression of each participant’s individual personality. The media workshop is a place where children can unleash their creative side and craft their own digital stories. Dive into the exciting world of media with us!

Everyone is welcome to our media workshop in Neukölln. Whether it’s photography, video editing, 3D printing, or creating impressive campaigns – here, children can playfully explore the diversity of media and unleash their creative abilities.

📆 *Activity during the Winter Holidays:*

   3. International Collaboration

The Project New Hope for Street Children

Immerse yourself in the world of our project ‘New Hope for Street Children,’ which supports children on the streets and provides them with a hopeful perspective. Psychological support offers emotional assistance and guides the children to a better understanding of their own strengths.

Shared meals are not just about nourishment but also an act of care and community. Daily, we provide these young souls with nutritious meals that not only strengthen the body but also bring comfort and confidence.

In the group, the children stand together as a symbol of unity and solidarity. Together with our dedicated caregivers, they shape the path towards a promising future.

Educational activities expand the horizons of these children and foster a positive learning environment. Discussions, interactive questions, and stimulating educational activities provide them with the opportunity to unfold their skills and discover their talents.

These images convey not only moments of the project but also the hope that we spread with the help of our supporters and the generous support from the Nürburgring Foundation. Learn more about our project and how you can be part of this impactful initiative.

Information and orientation days in Cameroon organized by:

Vocational Training Center _ New Hope And Light in Collaboration with the Scientific Faculty of the University of  Yaounde 1

To illustrate the global aspect of our commitment to sustainable education in collaboration with Cameroon, I summarize our initiatives as follows:

Our partnership with Cameroon embodies our comprehensive commitment to sustainable education, involving participants of all ages. We actively work with children and adults, advocating for strengthening the skills of our partners in areas such as solar energy, biogas, and electricity training.

As part of our efforts to promote education in renewable energies, we have organized seminars in collaboration with the University of Yaounde, identifying potential candidates for our training programs. Our local partner organization plays a key role in implementing significant projects in Cameroon.

An outstanding initiative was our exchange project with Cameroon, aimed at addressing the issues of energy poverty and energy justice. This online exchange allowed children from Berlin and Cameroon to interact, creating a platform with rich perspectives and awareness.

This collaborative work illustrates our ongoing commitment to make a significant contribution to sustainable education worldwide by shaping minds and promoting sustainable development through successful partnerships.

V. Contact and Further Information

With an inspiring journey through our educational projects in Cameroon and Germany, we would like to conclude this newsletter journey. On one side, we see the young minds in Cameroon enthusiastically delving into the world of renewable energy and electricity, installing solar panels, and making electricity tangible.

On the other side, here in Berlin, our young people are actively involved in creating a model house for a sustainable future. With wind turbines, solar energy, and perhaps even a solar-powered car, they show that education for sustainable development can bring tangible changes.

These images represent not only our projects but also the shared dreams of a sustainable future. We invite all of you to be part of this journey and accompany us on our path. Your support makes all of this possible.
