€10,000 were handed over to Dr. Michael Bargl and Susanne Crecelius, who had already initiated the construction of the Tadala abc Primary School in the village of Mzungu in Malawi in 2023. In close cooperation with abc-Gesellschaft e. V., a secondary school (from the 9th grade onwards) is now to be built nearby, thus providing access to the highest level of education. The couple also works closely with the local Match Foundation, which provides sports opportunities and scholarships. As many young people drop out of school due to costs and long, dangerous routes to school, these new learning conditions are particularly important.

Another project that PASS is supporting with a donation this year is the Weg der Hoffnung foundation. Founded over 40 years ago, the foundation works in the slums of Villavicencio in Colombia, where people need support most urgently. The focus is on education and training. People with disabilities are prepared for work and life. Women receive further training and can build a livelihood with the help of microloans. Angelika Brang-Endemann, president of the Rotary Club of Aschaffenburg, is personally committed to the project and also accepted the donation of €10,000.
