Ahmadiyya women's group made the patients of child and adolescent psychiatry a joyous occasion.

Schleswig. Many children have to spend Christmas in a hospital.

The compassion for these children called Anela Shoaib Arshad and Maria, members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Schleswig to action.

Together with their mothers and Zubida Qamat Shoaib Arshad they contacted Dr. Martin Jung, chief of child and adolescent psychiatry at the Helios Clinic, because they wanted to prepare Christmas gifts for the children.

For many years, the group has regularly engaged for the benefit of the local community and the town of Schleswig.

"In our religion we do celebrate the Christmas festivities, but we would like to participate in the celebration of love and make the children happy.

 We want to express our solidarity and show that we are a part of society and simply say thank you, that we  live in Germany, "said Arshad Anela.

The representatives of the Muslim community presented 40 lovingly packaged and offered Christmas greetings with the delighted smile of grateful children.

"The dialogue between the Christian and Muslim communities is a great idea," Jung said enthusiastically. "The visit to the hospital has affected us," said Maria Shoaib.

The two students and their mothers decided to stay in touch.
