Wir helfen - we help
Hedwig Neven DuMont beim Poller Lesekreis
Too many children and teenagers are stuck on the darker sides of life. »wir helfen«, a major initiative by the newspaper Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, helps them grow up undamaged and find a happy place in society. The current annual theme is: »we help you to belong«. The initiative targets boys and girls who are excluded or disadvantaged in society. Since its founding in the fall of 1998, the charitable association under the leadership of Hedwig Neven DuMont has supported up to 150 projects from the Cologne region every year, raising more than 30 million Euros for its cause.
The Gürzenich Orchestra supports this initiative every year with its benefit concert.
