Help provided quickly is worth

double

Little presents,

lots of joy

The devastating weather conditions have shown that ‘helping each other’ is

a priority in Tyrol and that Tyroleans do not hesitate to get involved when re-

gional catastrophes occur. The fundraising campaign launched by Caritas Ti-

rol and the Tyrolean Raiffeisen banks has achieved an impressive result. The

people affected in the See and Sellrain municipalities were quickly presented

with donations totalling more than 130,000 euros. All of which reached the

people who needed it.

To give refugee children in Tyrol a treat at Christ-

mas, Raiffeisen-Landesbank Tirol AG initiated the

‘Small present for refugee children’ campaign. They

invited each and every employee to assemble their

own personal gift package for refugee children of all

ages and bring it to the traditional Advent celebra-

tions. All of the beautifully packed and lovingly dec-

orated gifts were stacked up under a Christmas tree

– a happy consequence of the fact that many peo-

ple were determined to bring several surprises

at once. As the evening drew to a close, more than

300 packages were counted. These were distrib-

uted by Caritas Tirol to refugee children in refu-

gee hostels and emergency accommodation in the

greater Innsbruck area – a strong sign of social soli-

darity and togetherness in action.
