Grandpa on the TV screen

Télécran made an extremely beautiful and very sympathetic title story from Grandpa’s 100 years! With poems, old photos, family stories and a crazy grandson! But the heroes of this story are the thousands of diligent postcard writers! Together they showed what is possible when you stick together. How important and valuable our elderly people and our families are. ????How we would like to make other people happy and also share something very personal. Look at Grandpa’s smile – it’s thanks to you! Here you will find the world map, the mosaic and the maps: http://www.paulgalles.lu/100-joer-bopa/

Halloween 2018 in the stable

Again this year: Halloween in the stable! Here is all the info and BIG NEWS. There are actually 2 celebrations this year, and you have to register. But be careful: the celebration from 5 pm is already full (since 4.12.), so there is a WAITING LIST. There is still enough space for the celebration at 6:30 p.m. Here it goes directly to the registration: REGISTRATION How are we doing in the stable? Rediscover the flair of Christmas: a small Christmas evening with music, stories and a prayer, designed by Linda and Paul, with music by Joss, for all those who – like to experience the atmosphere of Christmas – are prevented from family during the day and have a little time in the evening – want to experience something different, very original, in a stable with the animals, similar to how it might have really been back then – look forward to very beautiful music WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR? – We will have 2 celebrations (one at 17:00 and one at 18:30), and we can admit a maximum of 100 people for each celebration. – VERY IMPORTANT: YOU MUST REGISTER! Here is the site: http://paulgalles.wixsite.com/hellegowend When we have reached 100 registrations, we will put you on the waiting list and let you know. Important information: – Where it is exactly: in Fischbæch at 6, rue Grande-Duchesse Charlotte (7430 Fischbæch) – Where to park: 2 options: either at the top behind the church or at the entrance from the direction of Miersch – Language: Luxembourgish (but all languages are welcome) – What’s left after the “Veillée”: mulled wine and warm milk straight from the cow, organic and fairly milked! Our proposal: you bring your own cup, then we stay sustainable. If you don’t have one, get a mug from us anyway.

My grandfather is 100 years old

On August 21st, it’s time: my grandfather turns 100 years old! That’s why I wanted to give him a very special pleasure: in the last few weeks I asked him for as many postcards as possible, from all corners of the country and the world! He was never able to travel much because of the war, but he is interested in geography, especially rivers. That’s why people wrote on it what kind of stream or river was passing by them. And do you know what happened?! There is a good chance that we will end up with around 2000 cards from all over the world!! Here is the link to the Facebook group where I post all the cards: www.facebook.com/events/200236727358976 And above all, here is the link to a world map where you can see where the cards come from and what for a river is described: http://www.paulgalles.lu/100-joer-bopa/ Maybe also because I said that for every postcard I personally donate €1 to social projects with elderly people. Since many people asked if they could contribute something in addition, I started a Leetchi donation box: “Together for Generation Grandpa”, www.leetchi.com/c/zesumme-fir-dgenerationation-bopa.

Economic forum of young leaders 2017

At the beginning of September I was a guest on a panel at the «Economic forum of young leaders 2017» in Novy Sącz in Poland. This forum is world famous as «Davos for young people» and gathers 400 committed young people. I was able to tell them about my experiences, how to get people excited about something and take them seriously. Above all, I met many interesting people and realized how much joy the young people take their responsibility seriously.
