Today I’m going to tell you one of my warmest stories.

We had a lot of fun, smiles and laughter when we celebrated a weltwärts festival in Göttingen from May 31 to June 4, 2023.

Our story began with joy and love on May 31, when all of us who are participating in the weltwärts program this year through the United Evangelical Mission went to Göttingen to celebrate weltwärts‘ 15th anniversary.

For your information, we, the South-North volunteers of the United Evangelical Mission, all live widely scattered in Germany and a festival or seminar is a good opportunity for us to meet.

We participated in many activities and workshops in Göttingen. It was really nice and gave us a lot of knowledge about the climate and postcolonialism in Göttingen. The most special thing is that we had time to eat, talk and be together and became a family of volunteers.

Day after day passed with joy and laughter until we arrived back to our own accommodation and we closed our story with love and prayer.
