Helping Refugees in the Zurich Area

There has been a lot of chatter about how to help Ukrainian refugees, and I have a belated suggestion about a very hands on activity.

Two or three days a week I volunteer at a school in Zurich where adult refugees are given free German lessons. I care for their children in a separate classroom while they are learning. The adults know their kids are in a safe and happy place while they study. For people who have left family and support groups behind, this means a lot.

Wednesday afternoons from 2:00 - 5:00 are often very busy. Yesterday I had 6 small children age 4 or under. I wasn't able to give the kids the attention I wanted to and that they needed. Some of the families we work with are Ukrainian and some are not. For all of them learning German is critical.

So, do you like to play with kids aged 0-7 years? Are you comfortable with energetic toddlers and a bit of chaos some days? Message me and I would love to introduce you to some really special people.

Not just Ukrainian refugees are in need.

That ́s adorable....:

Welcome to the real world buddy, the one where you pay your tax in advance based on your income last year.

Thanks for bumping the origianal thread made in september.

At least in the UK and CH, if you know that your income this year won't be what they're demanding, you can adjust it. If you get it wrong, then you pay interest in the excess.

Yeah, that doesn ́t work in the Fatherland, the tax office will estimate and send you the bill.
