With their proverbial diligence, bees do incredible things for both humans and the environment. Their honey sweetens our lives, their buzz brings life to our gardens and their propolis is good for our immune system. However, their main task is pollination. Around 80 percent of crops rely on pollination by insects, a large part of which is carried out by honeybees. This makes them the most important animals after cows and pigs. If there were no bees, humans would have to live without roughly a third of their food. The honeybee is one of the foundations of our ecosystem. Unfortunately, these foundations are crumbling because bees and other pollinating insects are at great risk. Why is that?
Illegal gold mining in the Amazon region leads to pollution of surrounding waters with mercury, along with disease outbreaks and other threats to indigenous peoples such as the Yanomami. The Yanomami culture has been relatively untouched, and they are among the most endangered indigenous peoples worldwide. The largest rainforest in the world is found in the Amazon, which stretches across Brazil, Venezuela, Peru and other countries in South America. Indigenous peoples have often lived sustainably in the forests for thousands of years and find everything they need to survive there.
Munich is the home of some very large football clubs, but also many smaller clubs with high aspirations in their youth ranks. One of these traditional Munich clubs is FC Alte Haide-DSC Munich. This club, founded in 1929, is located in the north of Munich, and briefly formed an association with FC Bayern Munich, called "District Schwabing", after the outbreak of the war. Today, the club has an overwhelming number of new recruits in its youth teams. Due to the large number of clubs in Munich, most youth teams are happy to receive financial support to continue their traditions and legacy.
Two sisters have shown with their training project what help means on an equal footing. The city of Munich views this as “a pioneering project to develop new ‘dirndl’ fashion that, based on traditional Bavarian styles in combination with typical African fabrics, brings about an enchanting transformation and makes a contribution to the connection between the two cultures.” It is hard to come up with a better explanation what the two sisters are up to in the world of fashion.
In each issue of “FKC Aktuell”, we present you with a social project that is important to us at FKC, and which we therefore support with a donation. “FKC Aktuell” spoke to Mehmet Ali and Adnan from the Association for the Promotion of Ethnic Minorities e.V. about their motivation to work for freedom and independence in their home country.
The issue of refugee movement has been a controversial topic since 2015. What is often forgotten is that refugees in Europe still rely on local help daily. The association “Refugees help e.V.” offers very pragmatic support to these people. Here are the impressions that were collected during relief trips on the former refugee route. Midia has just turned twelve and is shockingly sober about the things she experienced.
