After around one and a half years of construction, the short-term care facility "Hummelchen" of Katholische Jugendfürsorge (KJF) Regensburg has opened its doors. Here, children and young people with severe disabilities find a loving temporary home - and their families find valuable relief.
Gammel Engineering was involved in this special project as a planning partner for heating, ventilation and sanitation and is delighted to have contributed to this place of well-being with its technical expertise.
During the ceremonial blessing by Bishop Dr. Rudolf Voderholzer, it became clear how much passion and commitment is behind this project. Numerous sponsors, donors and partners made the construction possible - first and foremost the Benefizaktion Sternstunden, which supported the project with one million euros. Further contributions came from the Bavarian Ministry of Health, the Hofmann Foundation, the "For Young People" Foundation and the Regensburg Christmas Carol.
KJF director Michael Eibl spoke of a real star hour:
"Our vision of providing relief to families with severely disabled children in Eastern Bavaria has become a reality. Without the many helping hands, this would not have been possible."
The first children moved in during the summer vacations - and feel completely at home. "The Hummelchen is like a second home," say parents gratefully.
Located in the middle of the countryside, the Hummelchen is a place of care, joy and renewed strength - a ray of hope for families who achieve great things every day.
We at Gammel Engineering are delighted with the successful progress of the project and especially for the families who can now use this wonderful facility. 💛
Our health officer Evi Wittmann has organized a professional bioimpedance analysis for our employees - a valuable service to help them better understand their own body composition.
As in previous years, we will of course not miss out on the popular Lions doughnut feast on 11.11 this year.
Yoga has been an integral part of our company routine for exactly one year now! Every Tuesday after work, around 8 to 12 employees meet for a yoga session with Susanne Ohneis. What originally began as a test phase has now become a fixed part of our health program - and many colleagues can no longer imagine their weekly schedule without it.
