Brief history<\/h5>\n

In 1990, Joachim Posielek and Dr. Anto Maliekal, from Kerala in India, met for the first time. Anto, then a Catholic priest, was temporarily working in Germany with Thadd\u00e4us Posielek, the son of Joachim. After leaving the priesthood, Anto was supported by the Posielek family to complete his doctorate in political philosophy. In 1997, Anto went back to India and joined the Navajeevan Bala Bhavan<\/em> project for street children and child workers in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, which is run by the Salesians of Don Bosco in Germany. When Joachim and other members of the Posielek family visited Anto at this project in 1998, they had the first hand experience of the plight of street children and child workers. It was the turning point when the seed of Fam. Posielek Foundation sprouted in Joachim\u2019s mind to support the education of children. The Fam. Posielek Stiftung was founded in 2002. The registered office is in N\u00fcrnberg, Germany supervised by the administration Mittelfranken in Ansbach.<\/p>\n

The foundation started with the support of rescued street children and child workers at the Don Bosco project in Vijayawada. Today, the Fam. Posielek Foundation, with its three generations of family members and their friends in Germany, supported more than 2000 children. Especially female students from poor families receive support to settle their lives through professional education and skills trainings. Though Anto left Navajeevan, he and his wife Seena continued to support students through the Fam. Posielek Foundation.<\/p>\n

At Joachim\u2019s behest and guidance, Anto and Seena founded the \u2018Change Foundation Trust\u2019 in 2006 as the counterpart organization to the Fam. Posielek Foundation. The Change Foundation extends the support with three \u2018Women Societies\u2019: Mother Theresa, Pragathi, and Chiguru. These three groups consist of mothers of students who received support from the Foundation. The three Women Societies have created their own revolving funds out of the voluntary contributions received back from many families of the students which the foundation supported in the past. From these revolving funds, the Women Societies continue to give small education loans to many more students. That means the support that students received from the Fam. Posielek Foundation, never ends with them, but continues to revolve helping many more students in the future.<\/p>\n
