Timon Saalfrank knows how it feels to help people in need of care with everyday routine tasks. For one semester, the THI Business School student supported the Caritas mobile care team in the Albtal region. He visited seniors and people in need of care at home, showered them, measured blood pressure, helped put on and take off compression stockings and much more. Saalfrank is currently in his seventh semester studying Business Administration (B. A.). He earned credit for the social project for his studies.

"People were very open to me," Timon says in retrospect. "Basically, I was a complete stranger to them and sometimes helped them with the most intimate activities. Some were also just happy when I talked to them and listened. That touched me a lot."

Social projects like this are an integral part of all Bachelor's degree programs at THI Business School and are mandatory in the curricula.
