»A society advocating the improvement of the quality of life has to tackle the topic of the human development before approaching other tasks. The quality of life can only be improved if man himself improves his quality. In that sense, we are concerned to help the human being to become capable, to manage his life in a self-confident, reasonable, creative and active way for our solidarity.« (Karl Kübel)
