Pupils at Primary Schools shell out over €2,800 for Therapy Centre "Theo"
In a heartwarming display of social responsibility, students from Pfatter Primary School have made a significant donation towards the construction of a unique therapy centre in Eastern Bavaria. The centre, named "Theo," is a project of the vkm Regensburg, a non-profit organisation dedicated to animal-assisted therapies.
The fundraising campaign for this centre received support from parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends, with the sponsored run in May being a notable contributor. The run, which saw a total of 2476 laps, equivalent to 742.8 kilometres, raised funds that have now been presented to Christa Weiß, chairperson of vkm Regensburg.
The symbolic check presentation took place in a school gymnasium, where Christa Weiß expressed her gratitude to the students for their engagement. She emphasised the importance of their donation in bringing "Theo" to life, a centre that will offer services with specially trained therapy horses, donkeys, sheep, rabbits, and guinea pigs.
"Theo" is currently under construction in Zeitlarn, with construction having begun in May. The centre is expected to open later this year, with specially trained therapy horses moving in by then. However, the vkm Regensburg is still seeking additional funds to complete the project, with an estimated requirement of approximately 700,000 Euros.
The vkm Regensburg, beyond the context of this fundraising event, has not been further specified regarding its purpose or current status. Nevertheless, the organisation's commitment to providing animal-assisted therapies is evident in the progress of "Theo."
For those interested in learning more about the sponsored run details, the children's donation, and the progress of "Theo" in Zeitlarn, local news sources, school newsletters, or the therapy centre's official communications would be the best resources.

Once completed, "Theo" will offer services utilizing specially trained therapy animals such as horses, donkeys, sheep, rabbits, and guinea pigs.
