The Board of Trustees meet as required, but at least twice a year.

The mission of the foundation

We see it as our task to help in the rehabilitation, occupation, upbringing, education, and transportation of the disabled children at the Immanuel Home and their provision with free time sports activities, cultural activities and information. We also see it as our responsibility to cover any costs over budget in the daily running of the Home, and to procure more expensive assets.
