Heart's desire fulfilled - bicycles for the Viersen residential group

The Evangelische Jugend- und Familienhilfe - Wohngruppe Viersen is the winner of the first funding round of our MEDIA CENTRAL Heart Project 2025. With our support of €5,000, six new bicycles could be purchased - a great wish of the children that has now been fulfilled.

The joy at the handover was immense: from beaming faces to proud first laps to a great deal of gratitude.
