Thanks tothe generous support, we will be able to invite twice as many families thisyear," enthuses the 46-year old.

The third guest on theTheatrium stage was 37-year old Sylke Hoß from Hamburg, who is aiming to make everydaylife easier for people with dementia. "Small things can go a long way here,"explains the Hamburg local. "For instance, we will use AIDA's donation toexpand experience-oriented care. That requires resources as well as specialisttherapeutic equipment."
