At the last weekend of August, Stuttgarter Hofbräu, a brewery in the capital of Baden-Württemberg, invited everyone to their factory for the Brauereifest 2017, lasting two full days for the first time! Since several years now Bosch employees, especially members of the Junior Managers Program (JMP), are supporting this event in favour of Primavera.

This time, the volunteers originally from Germany, India and Hungary, were involved in the brewery guided tours and the beer tastings with a beer sommelier. In return, we happily received a donation cheque of € 1.300 and, of course, a cold Hofbräu after the work was done was going very well at the very high temperatures on this weekend in Stuttgart.

We thank Stuttgarter Hofbräu and the Radeberger Group for this fundraising opportunity, we have already confirmed to be back in 2018.

The Event took place on 5th of August, Saturday at Christ College Auditorium and it was spectacular for a fantastic cause – Primavera India where more than 1000 children are positively impacted and have sustainable changes in their lives.

The entire show and the hard work which everyone has put in is a living example of “We are Bosch” and the glue of Bosch India. It was also realized that each one of the contributors has tremendous hidden talents and passion and just needed a platform to show case it. Well done and thank you very much. This will not be the last of its events and Spark of Joy will continue.

This Event would not have been possible without Karthik and Ashwani (Conception, Direction, Production and Choreography), Bharath (choreography, Ban loc), location choreographers, and Rajni and Kumar of Desi Magic (the entire event management and putting together the Sound of Music, Saravana, and Ms Dixit). Heartfelt gratitude also goes to the Corp Heads, BU Heads, Legal Entity Heads, Plant Managers and RBEI/JMT who have encouraged everyone to make this happen with record participation from different locations across India.

The Bosch Symphony Orchestra recently gave a benefit concert in Munich bearing the slogan “Help you can hear − a concert for the future.” Led by conductor Hannes Reich, the orchestra played a wide range of classical music for 600 guests. The concert raised a total of 9,380 euros in donations for the children’s aid organization Primavera . The event was organized as a joint project between BSH Hausgeräte GmbH and the Munich-based Gasoline Systems plant, the technical sales branch, and Bosch Security Systems in Munich.

„The joy and the smile are the summer of life" (Jean Paul). In this sense the Primavera Summer Party took place on Saturday, 15th July 2017 in the garden of Bosch Haus Heidehof. Primavera members, friends and supportes experienced a day of attractions for as well as food and drinks at a historical place over Stuttgart from 14 till 18 o'clock.

The Bosch Symphony Orchestra played in Ansbach on 14th July 2017. On the challenging program there were pieces from the operas "Nabucco" and "Carmen", Arutjunjan's trompet concert, Schstakowitsch's Moscow Tscherjomuschki as well as the Danzòn of Antonio Marquez.

The Bosch employees from Ansbach were so excited that they donated 3.650 Euro for Primavera.

Many volunteers helped to prepare a buffet and drinks for the concert guests. At the Primavera booth Di Michele Anita und Edeltraud Rachuy had the great task to collect donations. With a lot of sentiments and talks they could convince the guests to donate money for the children of Primavera.
