The Volkswagen Group has been a supporter of UN refugee aid for years. The partnership covers many smaller and bigger elements. Among different issues, Volkswagen offers vehicles to the staff for his or her work on web site in Germany. Fundraisers use three Passat Variant vehicles to drive by means of cities and inform residents at market stalls concerning the state of affairs of refugees worldwide and concerning the work of UN Refugee Aid.
“Without the vehicles, our information and fundraising campaign would not be possible. Our teams are in a different city every week and sometimes even in very small towns that are inconvenient to reach. We also have a lot of material with us, so the large trunk helps us a lot,” says marketing campaign supervisor Emely Klement from UN Refugee Aid.
The tools of the so-called Face2Face teams features a pavilion full with desk, rain jackets, umbrellas, information materials and small items for donors.
“Mobility is Volkswagen’s core competence. That’s why we’re happy to do UN refugee aid a favor with reliable vehicles. The teams are doing important information work about flight, the causes and fates of flight to raise awareness in our society,” says the mission supervisor of Volkswagen Group Refugee Aid, Oliver Braun – who was just lately capable of see the teams’ work on web site in Hanover.
