Highlights 2011
An Award for the Project for Street
Children in Ecuador!
---------------------------------------------------On 7 September 2011, “Chicos de la Calle”,
the Don Bosco project for street children in
Guayaquil, was awarded the Juscelino Kubitschen prize. This prize is awarded every year
by the Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo,
the Inter-American Development Bank, and
recognises the significant contribution that
this project is making to society. “Chicos de la
Calle” supports street children and disadvantaged children and young people with a range
of activities that include education and leisure
activities. In addition, the children receive
medical and psychological care in the project’s
centres, and are given food and, if necessary,
a roof over their heads. Jugend Eine Welt has
supported “Chicos de la Calle” ever since the
association was first founded. The project is
being carried out not only in Guayaquil, but
also in Quito, Esmeraldas, Santo Domingo and
San Lorenzo.
----------------------------------------------------
100th Volunteer from Upper Austria
---------------------------------------------------On 25 March 2011, Jugend Eine Welt celebrated
the return to Upper Austria of the province’s
100th volunteer. The celebration also paid tribute
to the accomplishments and commitment of
every one of the young women and men who
work as volunteers on Don Bosco projects for
disadvantaged children and young people all over
the world. Since Jugend Eine Welt introduced its
voluntary work programme, 400 young people
from Austria have shown their solidarity with the
people of Africa, Asia and Latin America and,
through their work and their support for a fairer
world.
----------------------------------------------------
Best PRactice Award XVII
---------------------------------------------------On 24 March 2011, Jugend Eine Welt came third
in the Best PRactice Award XVII. The Best
PRactice Award is awarded twice a year by the
Austrian Public Relations Association and the
Manstein publishing house for especially innovative, creative and outstanding PR achievements.
Jugend Eine Welt won its award for “Street
Children’s Day 2011”. The award recognises the
unflagging efforts and original approach with
which the topic of street children has been
established in the public consciousness and with
which Jugend Eine Welt has supplied new ideas
for the education system. We’d like to thank all
the school classes, youth groups, Catholic
children’s groups, parishes, volunteers and
dedicated unpaid workers who helped make
“Street Children’s Day 2011” such a great
success.
----------------------------------------------------
South Sudan: A Tough Start to
Independence
---------------------------------------------------About six months after an overwhelming
majority of South Sudanese voted for a split
from the North, South Sudan declared its
independence on 9 July 2011. “98 per cent
voted for the new state,” says Fr. Jim Comino
SDB, and goes on to explain, “They hoped it
would bring peace.” But so far this wish has not
been fulfilled. Battles keep breaking out,
hindering the reconstruction of the country.

Sailing for Peace!
---------------------------------------------------The peace fleet was founded in 1992 as a sign
of opposition to the war in former Yugoslavia.
Young people from a wide variety of different
countries spend time with each other on a
sailing boat, learning to work as a team and
reaching a destination together. In the years
since its foundation, the peace fleet has
broadened its scope and today encompasses a
great many target groups and social issues. In
2011, Jugend Eine Welt gave six schoolgirls
from Bratislava the chance to take part in the
peace fleet. They had no trouble communicating with the Austrian children, because they
are learning German and English at school.
New friendships were forged before the bus
had even reached Croatia after leaving Vienna.
--------------------------------------------------3

31st of January –
Street Children‘s Day
On 31 January 2011, the commemoration day
of Don Bosco, Jugend Eine Welt invited parishes, school classes, youth and Church groups
to turn their attention to the plight of street
children and carry out activities to raise money
for Don Bosco aid projects for the third time.
Reinhard Heiserer, Director of Jugend Eine
Welt, says, “The number of children living on
the street worldwide and fighting for survival
there every day is estimated at between 33
million and 100 million.” He goes on, “In the
many Don Bosco centres for street children all
over the world they are given aid, can go to
school and find somewhere to live.”
Solidarity Campaigns all over Austria for
Street Children
Street Children’s Day 2011 focused on children
in Haiti, many of whom lost their families in
the devastating earthquake of 2010 and now
face a daily struggle for survival.
A large number of children in Austria showed
their solidarity with these children. They
organised charity concerts, sold snacks and
cakes at school and staged activities in
pedestrian precincts and shopping centres
to draw attention to the fate of street
children.
6
Street Children’s Day 2011 received prominent
support from Vienna’s auxiliary bishop Franz
Scharl. Together with Reinhard Heiserer he
cleaned the shoes of passers-by in front of
Vienna University. This is a job done by millions of children all over the world to earn a
little money for something to eat or to support
their families.
Reinhard Heiserer is delighted by the amount
of support shown for Don Bosco aid projects:
“Many unusual activities were organised this
year, too. It’s nice to see young people in
Austria showing concern for the fate of street
children and actively doing something to help
them. I’d like to thank them all for their
tremendous enthusiasm and efforts.”
If it’s Personal, it’s Global –
Understanding Globalisation!
Reveal a world: that was the main motto of the
numerous Jugend Eine Welt volunteers who
went out again this year to schools, youth
groups and parishes to talk about their work.
In 2011, former volunteers gave the Austrian
public an insight into their experiences of the
world in more than 100 talks, workshops,
presentations and activities.

Targets reached
With a total of EUR 5.6 million received as
donations and grants, Jugend Eine Welt was able
to meet its financial targets. While it is true that
total revenue fell by 9% compared to 2010, which
was an exceptional year, this is due to the decrease in public funds received as emergency aid
for the Haiti disaster. Revenue from general
donations rose by 3% compared to the previous
year. Donations for developing countries in Africa
and Asia were able to compensate to some extent
for the decrease in the sums for Haiti.
It was your support that made this result possible.
We would therefore like to thank you most
sincerely for that!
Development of Revenue and
Expenditure
The majority of our expenditure directly supports
aid projects all over the world, especially in India,
Pakistan and the Solomon Islands. We allocated
86 per cent of our funds to such projects: that
is five per cent more than in 2010.
Despite the necessary investments in professional communications tools, innovative computer programs and the training of our volunteers
and employees in 2011 we succeeded in keeping
our administrative expenses at virtually the same
level thanks to maximum cost-effectiveness,
financial prudence and efficiency. These
costs have risen by only 0.28 per cent to 3.53
per cent.
