Although they are only allowed to unpack their gift packages on Christmas Eve, they received 140 disadvantaged children and young people days in advance. The Christ child was given by Wulf Freiherr von Schimmelmann, the chairman of the “Startchance” foundation, which has been trying since 2014 to support children and young people whose social background does not automatically guarantee a successful start in school and at work. In addition, on Fridays after class, experienced teachers and older schoolchildren and students learn individually with them as “student coaches”. The offer is available at the grammar school in Schäftlarn as well as at the elementary and middle school in Geretsried. The sponsorship is free for parents, the work of the foundation is financed by donations.
