On March 29th, ARSP will talk about its cause and hold a Q&A involving some of the volunteers. There will also be a screening of the Movie "Facing Arthur" which chronicles the relationship between an ARSP volunteer and an elderly holocaust survivor. The event will be held at Parish Hall, 10012 Kendale Road, Potomac, MD 20854, at 7:30. More information on the Movie, Topic and how to RSVP can be found on our flyer.

This year, the "Holocaust and Heroism Rememberance Day" is being held on the second Sunday of April. ARSP will join the yearly commemoration by attending and participating in the reading of names at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan. The Event begins on the 11th and runs through the night into the 12th of April. Our volunteers will help to read out some of the Names of the countless victims of the Shoah.

International Volunteer Service in Danger

The so-called part 14c of the German law regarding the alternative civilian service allows conscientious objectors, amongst other options, to perform their service abroad and offers funding for social projects offering this opportunity. This sub clause is very important for German international volunteer organizations which are dependent on the financial support of their government to continue the social work and offer an opportunity for conscientious objectors to become internationally involved.

The sub clause 14c is about to be greatly changed. This comes linked to a shortening of the alternative civilian service in general, from twelve months down to six months. Read More!
