Here at GameDuell, we don’t just want to build a long-term successful and sustainable company, but also contribute to a better world for everyone. So many of our team members were in the giving mood this past holiday season and donated their annual Christmas present to a charity.

Every year with our “Make a Wish” initiative, our team can choose whether they would like to receive a voucher for a local and sustainable shop, or donate the value of the voucher to a good cause. Many team members chose to donate to one of these three great organizations.

"Mehr und mehr Kinder verlieren Mut und Lernfreude. Oft ist die Ursache hierfür mangelnde Unterstützung bei dem Erlernen von Lesen und Schreiben. Nahezu jedes fünfte Kind verlässt derzeit die Schule, ohne ausreichende schriftsprachliche Kompetenzen. Dem wollen wir mit unserer LegaKids Stiftung entgegenwirken. Um unser Engagement zu finanzieren, sind wir auf Förderer und Sponsoren angewiesen. Heute dürfen wir uns bei der GameDuell GmbH bedanken, die unser neues Lernspiel-Projekt „SuperPutzig“ mit einer großzügigen Spende unterstützt hat. Herzlichen Dank!“

"More and more children are losing courage and the joy of learning. Often the reason for this is a lack of support in learning to read and write. Almost every fifth child currently leaves school without sufficient written language skills. We want to counteract this with our LegaKids Foundation. To finance our commitment, we depend on supporters and sponsors. Today we can thank GameDuell GmbH, who supported our new educational game project "SuperPutzig" with a generous donation. Thank you very much! "
