Donation Delivery at Levana-School 20.07.2022

We meet Kathrin Römermann on July 20 in front of the Levana School Ahrweiler, which she took over in the summer 2020. The flood was over a year ago, but there is still no sign of reconstrution. Ms. Römermann shows us the school through the construction fence - classromms, assembly hall, swimming pool. 

In the past, the school was a place of community, but today no one learns here anymore. The 100 students and 60  teachers have been housed in two Neuwied schoole since their school was destroyed.
