GRATIS PDF - REFUGEE EDITION
I invested a lot of time, effort and money into the project. Producing a printed version of the booklet far exceeds my financial possibilities as a private person, which is why I decided to provide a free-of-charge PDF download of the REFUGEE EDITION. Thus allowing anybody to print out their own version of the booklet for personal, non-commercial purposes. My team and I hope to make communication easier for as many people as possible.

Support us with the LANGUAGE HELPER-REFUGEE free-of-charge for refugees booklet!
Thanks to generous support, we have been able to provide 20,000 free printed copies of the booklet to aid projects both in Germany and abroad. This, however, does not come close to meeting potential demand. There are many more people fleeing from war, hunger, discrimination and poverty, because of climate change and natural disasters. These people are trying to find new homes in countries where human rights are respected and where they see the prospect of prosperity and a peaceful future.
With the goal of continuing to help these most vulnerable groups communicate more effectively, we encourage you to make your company a sponsor, either exclusively or together with other sponsors, to enable the distribution of free-of-charge copies of LANGUAGE HELPER-REFUGEE booklets to institutions of your choice. Do not hesitate to contact us in case you have further questions, which we look forward to answering directly and swiftly. Any donation, as little as it may be, is very much appreciated and will be used solely for the production of the booklet.

The LANGUAGE HELPER story
LANGUAGE HELPER (formerly CUBY HELPS/WELCOMEBOOK) is not only a useful communication aid but also has a special story. Originally developed by Berlin-based photographer Alexander Melchow on his own initiative, the concept was to help refugees and migrants on their arrival in Germany. For this the project he was honoured with the special award for communication and integration by HAUPTSTADTINITIATIVE e.V. while it was still in the process of development.
Extensive feedback eventually convinced us to transfer this helpful communication concept to other areas of application.
