    THE ROAD WISH! The Straßenwunsch campaign fulfills the Christmas wishes of homeless people. This year marks the fifth time that the Regensburg street wish campaign has taken place. The idea for it once came from the Gastfreundschaft hilft Regensburg association. The group was able to bring Caritas Regensburg on board as a competent partner for the street wish.
