SUSTAINABLE & SOCIAL
Dealing with discarded items in an appreciative manner is important to me. I have made it my mission to find suitable local contact points, institutions and organizations to provide socio-economical solutions for discarded items. This includes e.g. cold aid, children’s homes and Oxfam stores. For our cooperation I provide a suitable list. Don’t waste – reuse!

SOCIAL COMMITMENT
I donate 7% of my earnings as a professional organizer consultant to UN Refugee Aid for family tents. I don’t add this money to my hourly wage, it comes out of my paycheck. So you don’t pay more and at the same time by hiring me you contribute to a good cause. A roof over your head – to protect you from the cold or also the heat – is something everyone wants. A tent is the first shelter for many refugees after a flight.
On my travels I have met many people who are not as well equipped as most people in the so-called western countries. Everyone has his or her own baggage to carry, but often it is poorly distributed. I wish I could do magic in this respect! Since I have not yet succeeded in doing so, I try to make a small positive contribution in another way and to help people who are less fortunate.
