Overview

• Markus Söder visited the Sunshine project in New Delhi, a humanitarian initiative providing free education to children in slums.
• Bavaria contributed 10,000 Euros to the project, which aims to break cycles of poverty by teaching children basic literacy skills.
• The Sunshine project relies on donations due to the lack of compulsory education laws in India, which often forces children into labor instead of school.
• Söder emphasized his personal commitment to aiding vulnerable children, calling the cause a 'Herzensanliegen' (matter of the heart).
• Following his New Delhi visit, Söder traveled to Bengaluru in Karnataka for political talks and formalized a partnership agreement to strengthen Bavaria's ties with the region.
