Kindertag

Every year around this time, Janz Team does a Kindertag (children's day) for the children in this area. It is almost the end of 'carnival'(Fasching) season so this day is used as a tool to reach out to the kids. Today there were around 250 children registered.

As I was walking in I saw this sign in the back window of a mini-van...it says 'Mama's taxi...free rides day and night, 7 days a week around the clock.'

Many pairs of boots and lots of coats!

The kids have a great time singing, listening to stories, short messages and an afternoon of very fun games. They are divided into teams when they come and all day points are totaled. At the end of the day, all is tallied and the winning teams are announced! (Everyone goes home with a prize)





Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, the noon meal of hot dogs and french fries is being prepared to feed the hungry group.
