Aufgrund der vielen negativen Logs werde ich den Cache nun umgehend entfernen. Ich entschuldige mich in aller Form, der Community etwas zurückgeben zu wollen. Traurig, dass man es manchen Leuten nie recht machen kann!
Der Cache befindet sich in einem schönen ruhigen Münchner Wohngebiet (Denning). Der Ort des Cache mag zwar etwas aktiv sein, jedoch kann man den Cache dennoch in Ruhe bergen.
Stift wird benötigt.
Dies ist unser erster Geocache. Und dann gleich ein Nano Cache. Also seid gnädig mit uns :)
Der Cache befindet sich am Anfang des Hermann-Gmeiner-Wegs. Hermann Gemeiner ist der Gründer der SOS Kinderdörfer.
Hier ein Auszug aus Wikipedia:
Hermann Gmeiner wurde am 23. Juni 1919 als sechstes von neun Kindern einer Bergbauernfamilie in Alberschwende, im österreichischen Vorarlberg, geboren. Mit fünf Jahren, im März 1925, wurde er durch den Tod seiner Mutter Angelika Halbwaise. Die älteste Schwester Elsa übernahm die mütterlichen Pflichten im Haus und stellte damit die wichtigste Bezugsperson für ihn und sieben weitere Geschwister dar. Der jüngste Bruder Anton wurde von einem Onkel adoptiert. Auf Grund seiner vorzüglichen Leistungen in der Dorfschule Alberschwende erhielt er ein Stipendium, das ihm ab 1936 den Besuch des Gymnasiums in Feldkirch ermöglichte. Noch vor Ablegung der Matura wurde Gmeiner im Februar 1940 zur Wehrmacht eingezogen und diente in Nord-Finnland (Lappland/Eismeerfront), Russland und Ungarn. Mehrere Male verwundet, kehrte er 1945 auch als Verwundeter in seine Heimat zurück, wo er bis November 1945 im Lazarett Bregenz verbringen musste. Nach seiner Genesung half er seinem Vater auf dem Bauernhof, bis nach kurzer Zeit der erste aus der Kriegsgefangenschaft heimgekehrte Bruder diese Stelle übernahm und er die Matura nachholen konnte. Im Herbst 1946 begann er in Innsbruck Medizin zu studieren. Seine Familie konnte ihn kaum unterstützen. Deshalb gab er nebenbei Nachhilfestunden und arbeitete aushilfsweise an der Uni-Klinik, um sein Studium zu finanzieren.
This is our first Geocache. And it even is a nano cache. Please be nice to us :)
The Cache can be found at the beginning of the street called Hermann-Gmeiner-Weg. Hermann Gmeiner is the founder of the SOS Children's Villages.
Some notes from Wikipedia:
Born to a big family of farmers in Vorarlberg (Austria), Gmeiner was a talented child and won a scholarship to attend grammar school. His mother died while he was still a young boy, and his eldest sister Elsa took on the task of caring for the smallest of the children.
Having experienced the horrors of war himself as a soldier in Russia, he was then confronted with the isolation and suffering of the many war orphans and homeless children as a child welfare worker after the end of the Second World War. In his conviction that help can never be effective as long as the children have to grow up without a home of their own, he set about implementing his idea for SOS Children's Villages.
With just 600 Austrian Schillings (approx. 40 US dollars) in his pocket Hermann Gmeiner established the SOS Children's Village Association in 1949, and in the same year the foundation stone was laid for the first SOS Children's Village in Imst, in the Austrian state of Tyrol. His work with the children and development of the SOS Children's Village organization kept Hermann Gmeiner so busy that he finally decided to discontinue his medical degree course.
In the following decades his life was inseparably linked with his commitment to a family-centred child-care concept based on the four pillars of a mother, a house, brothers and sisters, and a village. Given his exclusive focus on the need to help abandoned children, the rest of his biography reads like the history of SOS Children's Villages themselves. He served as Village Director in Imst, organized the construction of further SOS Children's Villages in Austria, and helped to set up SOS Children's Villages in many other countries of Europe.
In 1960 SOS-Kinderdorf International was established in Strasbourg as the umbrella organization for SOS Children's Villages with Hermann Gmeiner as the first president. In the following years the activities of SOS Children's Villages spread beyond Europe. The sensational "grain of rice" campaign raised enough funds to permit the first non-European SOS Children's Village to be built in Daegu, Korea in 1963, and SOS Children's Villages on the American and African continents followed.
By 1985 the result of Hermann Gmeiner's work was a total of 233 SOS Children's Villages in 85 countries. In recognition of his services to orphaned and abandoned children he received numerous awards and was nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize. However, he was always at pains to stress that it was only thanks to the support of millions of people that it had been possible to achieve the goal of providing abandoned children with a permanent home, and that still applies today.
Hermann Gmeiner died in Innsbruck in 1986. He is buried at SOS Children's Village Imst.
SOS Children's Villages is currently active in 132 countries and territories. 438 SOS Children's Villages and 346 SOS Youth Facilities provide more than 60,000 children and youths in need with a new home. More than 131,000 children/youths attend SOS Kindergartens, SOS Hermann Gmeiner Schools and SOS Vocational Training Centres. Around 397,000 people benefit from the services provided by SOS Medical Centres, 115,000 people from services provided by SOS Social Centres. SOS Children's Villages also helps in situations of crisis and disaster through emergency relief programmes. The emergency clinic in Mogadishu (provides app. 260,000 check-ups and treatments a year) is one example of a huge long-term relief project.
