The initiators of the Advent Café in Altstätten, Eveline Alder and Ursula Schelling, look back on the successful project with great pleasure. The café was open in the small hall of the Protestant church for a total of twelve days. Thanks to the help of 47 volunteers, visitors were treated to fine cakes, delicious soups and much more.

The Advent season always begins in Altstätten with an Advent night. The UBS Altstätten branch was also represented at this year's Christmas festivities. The banking team sold goulash soup in the Städtli.

In November, the financial situation of Rhein-Valley Hospital caused us so much concern that we turned to our many loyal benefactors. The letter and a newspaper report triggered not only consternation but also a gratifyingly great willingness to support the association financially.

10`000 Swiss francs for the Rhine-Valley Hospital. This is the gratifying result obtained at a seminar held by the REHAstudy educational center. Physiotherapists trained there on the subject of lungs and dealt with Stephan Holderegger's medical history - and donated.

The online portal rheintaler.ch wrote on Wednesday, December 14: "The local municipality of Au supports the Rhine Valley Hospital Association with 10`000 francs. The association is currently under financial pressure and hopes that the good example will be emulated." (Gert Bruderer)

The wonderful amount of 2500 Swiss francs was transferred by Edith and Hugo Lins to the Rhine-Valley Hospital. This extremely generous donation was generated by the couple from Schellenberg at the Christmas market in their home town.

On Friday, December 2, rheintaler.ch writes: "The Hospital of Hope of the Rhine Valley Hospital Association has financial problems.

Koni Holderegger reports on rheintaler.ch about his visit to the Rhein-Valley Hospital in Kenya, the hospital that his brother Stephan built together with Ruth Schäfer twelve years ago.
