With the aim to contribute and give back to the local community, BDSwiss went beyond business-as-usual, with its latest donation, this time in support of the Ronald McDonald Haus Berlin-Wedding in Germany.

BDSwiss’ representatives, from the local office in Berlin, had the opportunity to meet the team of volunteers, while Mrs Cindy Gill, Manager at the Ronald McDonald House Berlin-Wedding offered them a tour of the building and its various facilities, sharing her experiences and the immediate needs of families with hospitalized children.

Since its foundation 1998, with 36 flats in total, the Ronald McDonald House Berlin-Wedding, has housed more than 500 families with hospitalised children in the nearby German Heart Center Berlin (DHZB) or the Charité Campus Virchow-Klinikum.
