Weihnachtsgruß aus Indien
Der Projektleiter in Anand für unser Indienprojekt, Manoj Macwan, der Präsident von CDS, der örtlichen Organisation hat uns einen aufwändig gestalteten Weihnachtsgruß geschickt.
Er bedankt sich bei allen Förderern/innen und Unterstützern/innen. Er betont besonders die Wirkung auf die Menschen, die bei CDS eine Ausbildung erhalten, die Selbstbewusstsein, Selbstachtung und Fertigkeiten vermittelt, die ein selbstbestimmtes und unabhängiges Leben ermöglichen.
Herzlichen Dank an alle, die auf jeweils ihre Weise die Bildungsarbeit von CDS unterstützen.
Hier der englische Text:
Dear Donors, Supporters, and
Well-Wishers of from Germany,
"In the quiet cradle of Bethlehem,
Hope was born as a small, shining light-
And that same light lives today
In every child you have touched,
In every life you have lifted."
Dear Respected Church Elders, Loving Donors, Dedicated Volunteers,
and Our Cherished Well-Wishers from Germany,
As Christmas bells ring across the world,
their echo reaches even the narrow lanes of our slums,
where tiny hands in our Kindergarten fold in prayer
sending you a gentle message across continents:
"Danke thank you for the wings of learning you gave us."
In their bright smiles,
you will find the glow of possibilities
that your generosity has kindled.
From our Vocational Centre, the young trainees
once unsure, once unheard
now shape their future with steady hands.
They whisper in gratitude:
"Through your love, our skills became our strength."
At our Dairy Farm, where beneficiaries
rise before dawn and work with quiet pride,
you have gifted more than livelihood
you have offered belief.
Their message flows like a hymn:
"Your compassion turned survival into self-reliance."
This Christmas, the CDS Family bows in gratitude.
You have been the unseen shepherds
guiding our children, women, and youth
not with charity, but with faith in their potential,
not with gifts, but with the grace of opportunity.
May the Christ-Child bless you and your families
with peace, health, joy, and the quiet satisfaction
of knowing that your love travels far
and blossoms beautifully in India.
Merry Christmas and happy new year 2026
With folded hands and hearts full of gratitude,
Manoj K. Macwan, President, CDS
