11 buckets of dough, over 600 waffles: 1,675 euros for the children's cancer charity

Anyone who entered the Korbach district administration building last week was immediately hit by a tempting smell of fresh waffles: the trainees and aspirants of the district administration organised an action day for a good cause in the district bar - and baked waffles for the employees to donate the proceeds to the Waldeck-Frankenberg Children's Cancer Aid.

A total of 11 buckets of dough were used to make over 600 waffles. The campaign raised 1,675 euros for a good cause through donations from district employees. To this end, the trainees and candidates took to the waffle irons in the canteen of the district office and baked diligently. A waffle taxi was also set up for the nearby administrative offices in Korbach and Dorfitter, which supplied the colleagues not resident in the district office with the delicious pastries.

Diana Asmuth from the Kinderkrebshilfe Waldeck-Frankenberg e.V. was very pleased with the campaign: "The Kinderkrebshilfe supports families from the region who are in particular need of targeted help and whose children are being treated in a clinic in Kassel or Marburg, for example". Furthermore, she pointed out once again in this context that those in need of donations can also contact the association at any time to receive support. "Unfortunately, the inhibition threshold is still very high and we as an association can only help if we know about the need.

The idea for the charity campaign was brought to the district's trainees and candidates by the two prospective administrative assistants Diana Westmeier and Michelle Carotenuto, who were immediately enthusiastic about the idea. District Administrator Jürgen van der Horst is also pleased with the campaign of the junior staff: "The fact that our trainees and candidates are so committed to the good cause and that a considerable amount of money has been raised for the good cause shows that we have very motivated young people here in the district administration".
