The idea for the project originated in the bilingual religion
class led by Mrs Werkmann. The pupils were enthusiastic about
the opportunity not only to improve their language skills, but
also to make a contribution to a good cause. Together, they set
about designing Christmas cards that featured traditional
Christmas motifs as well as selected Bible verses and
encouraging messages in English. Once the cards were finished,
they were carefully packaged and sent to the Prince's Trust of
King Charles in London. The students' anticipation was great
when they learnt that the cards were to be distributed to those
in need at a Christmas dinner. However, the response to their
campaign exceeded all expectations. In a letter that reached
the school, the Prince's Trust expressed its heartfelt thanks
for the lovingly designed cards. The Christmas joy of the young
people from Neutraubling had indeed found its way to London and
brought a smile to the faces of those in need. The pupils are
overjoyed that their campaign was so well received and that
they were able to help bring special joy to people in a
difficult life situation.
