The thing I'd like to do better

 

Help needing people

 

 

 

 

 

The things I'd really like to banish from earth

 

Injustice, intolerance, poverty, slavery and torture. Sure enough, this ain't gonna happen soon

but I believe that every single step in the right direction is a good one.

(That is the reason of my political engagement).

 

 

 

 

 

It would be nice if…

 

Everybody on earth could have enough water, bread, medical attention and education

(even if things are a bit hopeless at times).

 

 

 

Political engagement

 

The social engagement of every citizen ist important I found my values best represented inside the

German Social Democratic Party (SPD), so I'm an active member, though I do support the views of the

German Green Party (Die Grünen) too for their concern about ecology and sustainable development.
