„We Run for Kids“ is an initiative of ten scientists from the Chair of Sustainable Engineering at Technical University of Berlin which aims at supporting the great work of the non-profit registered organization „Acute support for children and adolescents in Lebanon“ (ASCAL). Therefore, the Team TU Berlin will participate at the company run b2run on the 10th September. The ten members offer to change their identity from scientists to comic-characters, under the condition that 10,000 € are donated. Besides donating, you can support this initiative actively. Simply found your own team and collect some money yourself. This initiative shows how much we can achieve, if we work together for children fleeing the wars in their home countries.

Simon Kremer, a journalist working for the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) in Hamburg, Germany, who is also a good friend and supporter of our association, decided to offer photographs from his exhibition “Syria – Better Days”, sharing impressions from his time in Syria before the civil war, against a donation. All pictures can be found on Flickr. If you are interested in the exhibits, please contact Simon Kremer directly via email. We are very thankful for Simon’s dedication and send warm greeting to Hamburg by saying: “Dank ok!”
