"Millions of stars radiate in Koblenz" or "The sky in Koblenz is illuminated by a million stars"
On the chilly evening of November 16th, Koblenz will join cities and towns across Germany in the nationwide Caritas campaign, "Eine Million Sterne". This solidarity candlelight event, now in its seventeenth edition, aims to shine a light on poverty and hardship, and to promote a fairer world through a collective symbolic act.
The heart of the action in Koblenz will be Josef-Görres-Platz, where visitors are invited to light a candle with a voluntary donation. As the sun sets, the square will transform into a sea of small burning candles, forming a large star that symbolises hope and solidarity with people in need, both locally and worldwide.
The candle illuminations will begin from 4 PM, and the evening will feature an empathetic music programme with Anna Theisen, Daniel Ferber, and Lukas Otte.
Ulrike Mohrs, the Mayor of Koblenz, has taken on the patronage for this special event. Victoria Müller-Ensel, the director of Caritas Association of Koblenz, expresses hope for a positive resonance and generous donations during the event.
All funds collected during the "Eine Million Sterne" action will go directly to the homeless aid of the Caritas Association of Koblenz and a support project of Caritas international for young people with disabilities in Colombia.
For those unable to attend the event in person, online donations can be made via [www.caritas-koblenz.de/ems] with a donation receipt provided. Each candle at Josef-Görres-Platz represents a person in a difficult life situation, and every donation counts towards making a difference.
