After Gisela Kurkowiak's death, her work is to be continued.
Therefore, the organizational team of the working group Asylum Nandlstadt has been re-established.
Nandlstadt
– Ricarda Thaler from the newly founded organizational team of the Nandlstadt Asylum Working Group recently came to the Nandlstadt town hall to officially introduce herself to Mayor Gerhard Betz.
Actually, the conversation should have taken place with four people, but both Renate Stoeber and Bernd Stöckeler, the other two team members, had to cancel due to illness.
The reorganization of the working group became necessary because the founder and long-time director Gisela Kurkowiak died on February 12.
Continuing Gisela Kurkowiak's work
Thaler and Betz agree that Gisela Kurkowiak leaves a big gap and that not only the members of the Asylum Working Group and the many refugees on site miss her badly.
But precisely for this reason, and in order not to let Gisela Kurkowiak's "child" be orphaned, Renate Stoeber, Bernd Stöckeler and Ricarda Thaler decided to continue the working group together in Kurkowiak's spirit.
(By the way: everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)
The fact that the team now has to take care of people displaced by war from Ukraine in addition to the asylum seekers and migrants already living here in the five shared accommodation facilities poses a major challenge, which is why the request for support from the community was the most important concern for Ricarda Thaler in the conversation .
Living space and daycare places are missing
Gerhard Betz signals that he wants to help where possible, but the municipality of Nandlstadt is also facing huge problems due to the arrival of many additional new residents.
For example, there are no vacancies in the kindergartens, only waiting lists, and things don't look any better when it comes to living space.
So private initiatives and unconventional ideas are still in demand.
Mayor Gerhard Betz and Ricarda Thaler said goodbye with the mutual assurance that they would stay in touch and try at all levels to make the impossible come true.
