'With positive actions and publicity, we want to change the way we think about and the lives of homeless people. In addition, we can experience empathy, humanity, moving vulnerability and beauty ourselves. '

The DR. LENS FOUNDATION believes that every homeless person must be regarded and respected as a worthy person, and must therefore be greeted and treated as a matter of course in the community. They are indeed the painful mirror of an imperfect world in which not everyone has an equal privilege or fortune for a good existence. But homeless people offer us, the well to do community, the opportunity to experience empathy, humanity, vulnerability and beauty, to practice these aspects and to contribute to the healing and well-being of a fellow human being. We can experience how we change the world and enrich our own well-being by dignifying and illuminating the lives of homeless persons with positive actions and attention. Every wandering person needs - and rightly - attention, healing, opportunities and a helping hand from the community, us. Inclusiveness and dignity for every vulnerable person without a home, that is what DR.LENS FOUNDATION directly and indirectly promotes and realizes..
