In May 2026, 10 young apprentices from various trades will set off on their informational and educational trip to Kigali, Rwanda. Before that, they’ll be doing their part for a good cause by spreading the word about the work of Handwerk hilft e.V., the association organizing this trip to Rhineland-Palatinate’s partner country.

The association will be hosting a waffle stand on three Saturdays (March 28, April 4, and April 11, April 2026) with its waffle stand at the Pranger on Grabenstraße in Trier, offering a free, delicious snack and providing information about the association’s activities and its project-based collaboration with Rwandan youth attending the “Centre des Jeunes” vocational school in Kigali.

The Handwerk Hilft team looks forward to engaging conversations and a lively exchange of ideas!
