Our Advent Calendar for 2026

For each of the last thirteen years, you could find us in Schillerstraße selling Advent Calendars and gathering donations for our projects. No matter whether it was sunny, raining, or stormy members, family and friends had fun talking together and selling calendars to passersby.


Our advent calendar is a perfect advent season gift. Every window represents a “HOPE”: Prizes in the value of around 18.000 Euro are hidden behind the 24 windows. Throughout the Advent season, you look forward everyday and remember the good deed to which you contributed.
Everyone who sponsors or buys our calendar is a winner, as at end of the day, it is you, who has made a difference to the less fortunate, helping with your calendar donation.

Do you know Rotary? is our first question on street. We invite people to get familiar with our network. We are an international community of committed people from all cultures, religions and vocations, trying to serve humans, mostly needy persons, in hope to improve standard of living and global understanding.


Why have we created the advent calendar in a common Club effort since 2012? It is our way of generating 30.000 Euro for our core solidarity projects. We alway try to cover production and printing costs by sponsors. Every year a renowned artist is donating an extraordinary motif.
In 2026, Gohar Dashti kindly provided us with a photo from her series Stateless (2014–15): “Untitled #8”.
Our big thank goes to Gohar Dashti, as well as to all the other wonderful artists: Jens Rötzsch, Peter Bialobrzeski, Matthias Ziegler, Jana Erb, Götz Diergarten, Ami Vitale, Morag Hall, Laura J Padget, Michael Ehrhart, Christine Feser, Günter Pfannmüller, Dominik Mentzos and Olaf Otto Becker who were generously supporting us over the years.
One of our core projects this year is TUMO Frankfurt, an innovative extracurricular learning center for young people aged 12 to 18. Participants learn at their own pace and choose for themselves what to explore: programming, robotics, artificial intelligence, game development, film production or graphic design. There are no grades, no entry hurdles and no fees, and young people can join at any time. This way, TUMO gives them room to develop their digital and creative skills and opens up perspectives for the future.
We also continue to support the Angkor Kids Center (AKC) in Cambodia, a school social project where children and young people learn about sustainable resource management, English and computer skills. AKC is now developing a vocational training center for tourism and hospitality, with a focus on culinary arts and gastronomy and service management. After completing the one-year program, graduates receive help with job placement and finding scholarships for further studies.
