DARIUS RAMAZANI photographed a poster motif for his Billboard project in Berlin in order to support the great initiative KÄLTEBUS BERLIN (Cold Bus Berlin) in winter 2017-18 in Berlin. "This year, it was once again an important matter for us to support the Cold Bus project! Winter is here, and the nights can be dangerously cold, particularly for the homeless. The Berlin city mission has sent its Cold Bus through the streets of the city for 20 years. Homeless, threatened by the cold of the night are often brought to emergency shelters to spend the night where they are given a warm meal and can receive medical help. Please save this number in your cell phones : Berlin Cold Bus +49 178 5235838 !"
The reason behind the idea of the Cold Bus was the death of a homeless person in Berlin in 1994. He did not even have the strength to seek a warm shelter for himself. Something like that could not happen again. The first Cold Bus was a private car until 1995, after which the first real Cold Bus was "created" through a fundraising campaign. Post Production for the project came from Ali Amirfakury, Jule Roschlau labeled the large-scale ad.
The mission: Ask the homeless if they need help. Do not hesitate! If help is wanted – and you are in Berlin – call the Cold Bus. If you tend to avoid Berlin in winter, you can donate here: DONATION ACCOUNT IBAN: DE63 1002 0500 0003 1555 00. BIC: BFSWDE33BER. Bank für Sozialwirtschaft. Reference:
