200 years ago, the eruption of the volcano Tambora caused massive destruction in Indonesia and later devastating famines in southern Germany. This event in 1818 led to the founding of the University of Hohenheim. Its founding mission was to combat hunger. This is a mission it continues to pursue today.
In the anniversary year, the University is focusing especially on the suffering of those affected once again by natural catastrophes in Indonesia: On 28 September 2018, a severe earthquake on the Sulawesi caused a tsunami with waves reaching six meters in height.
The University of Hohenheim called for donations, with which many people supported the activities of the Red Cross on Sulawesi: A total of € 4,169 was donated.
The Red Cross is still active in the crisis region, and donations are therefore still welcome.
