"Uniting for Good: Wolfram Kons and the RTL Children's Charity Marathon"
I catch up with the refreshed and rested Wolfram Kons, fresh off recording "Die gute Minute" for RTL. This 15-minute segment, close to his heart, provides information about the charity marathon that recently took place. Kons, a fan of early mornings and a lack of sleep, is a true champion of early productivity.
Interview Starting Points
ntv.de: So, well-rested?
Wolfram Kons: (laughs) Of course! After the telethon, it's straight on to the next one. It's a testament to the viewers' faith and generosity that the campaign was such a resounding success. Now it's our responsibility to ensure these funds make a real, tangible impact on the lives of children in need.
Earning Readers' Trust
Kons is both humbled and satisfied by the results: 20 million euros raised, thanks to the donations of generous and caring individuals. While the final results from the major donors can be anticipated, the contributions from individual donors remain a mystery until they come in.
Strengthening Our Belief in Humanity
The sheer volume of donations was far beyond what any predictions had suggested. In fact, the number of donors had also increased, demonstrating a genuine desire to help, even in difficult times.
Distribution of Funds
The distribution of funds follows a clear, orderly process, beginning with the projects presented during the telethon and the continuation of their 20 RTL children's homes throughout Germany. Remaining funds are then allocated towards various smaller projects, ensuring that every donation contributes to a significant impact.
Emotional Highlights
Many touching moments occurred during the build-up to the telethon. During the show itself, people's kindness and generosity shone brightly, particularly those who felt compelled to donate, no matter how small the amount.
Alliances of Good
Kons' belief in the power of good people remains steadfast. While there are those who exchange kindness for contentment, the vast majority of people recognize the importance of supporting children and their futures.
Donation Transparency
Contributors are given the opportunity to specify which cause their donation should support. RTL prioritizes smaller donations by directing supporters towards the areas that have touched their hearts the most.
Embrace Empathy and Support
This pre-Christmas season, Kons invites everyone to pay more attention to children, advocating for empathy and support whenever it's needed.
