Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making for the homeless of Berlin, the capital of Germany. They first doing that during a long hot summer when most Germans were on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches, a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.

Today, over thirty companies regularly donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help to them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer even gives away new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no payment for their hard work. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t money for helping their children.

He then touched the nose and , “Can you tell me the name of this mountain? It is the highest mountain on Earth! What’s the of it? Yes, it’s 8844.43 metres…” I’ll never forget my first geography lesson. He was humorous that we all fell in love with his lessons . It’s Mr. Chen who opened the door of geography for us.

He is a friend and easy to get with, always encouraging us to speak out loud without our shyness and other disadvantages. He is an example, volunteering his time to students and other teachers.
