Rasselband Exhibited in a Festive Showcase
In a celebration of fairness and sustainability, the municipal kindergarten "Rasselbande" in Meerbusch has been awarded the prestigious "Fair Kita" title by the "Fair Kita" organisation. This recognition comes as a result of the kindergarten's commitment to fair trade and sustainable practices.
The "Fair Kita" award, supported by the Rhein-Kreis Neuss, honours facilities that strive to uphold fair, inclusive, and sustainable standards. Landrat Hans-Jürgen Petrauschke, along with Mayor Christian Bommers, Benjamin Josephs, Peter Annacker, and Stefanie Fandel, presented the award to the team and children at "Rasselbande". In addition to the title, the kindergarten received a €200 check and fair bananas, chocolate, and other products.
The kindergarten plans to use the €200 to purchase solar lamps from South Africa for their groups, furthering their commitment to sustainability. The children at "Rasselbande" have been actively exploring the topic of fair trade, with educational visits to a world shop in Osterath and a local supermarket.
