Liebe Frau Reeck, Ich habe jetzt den Meny für Woche 39 und 40 gemacht, und schicke diese Morgen an der Schule. Es fehlt noch einige Sachen in der KH-Liste. Zum Beispiel am Freitag in Woche 40 habe ich keine von den Diät-Pfannkuchen gefunden. ich würde gerne diejenige mit am wenigsten GKH bestellen. Sonst in Woche 40: Die 95871 Rahmsosse konnte ich auch nicht finden. Auch nicht 95931 Laktf.Hänchenragout, die 95881 GemüseBolognese, die 95931 Rindergeschneltzes, oder die Dip am Freitag (Normalliste). Es würde gern dies wissen, um den Meny besser zu komponieren. Übringens werde ich fast alle Tage nur Obst als Nachtisch bestellen (einige Tage kriegt der was Süsses), sonst wird es zu viel GKH. Dies habe ich in der Bestelleung (von der Schule ) angegeben. Es tut mir Leid, dass ich so viel Arbeit gebe. Wenn ich es einfacher machen kann auf irgendeine Art und Weise, sagen Sie mir bitte Bescheid. Mit freundlichen Grüss Kari ANne K.

Migrant returns programs are an > integral component of migration and border management around the world > today, and are part of a long history of expulsion (Ngai 2004; Walters > 2010). Western countries are employing various migrant removal policies – > from forcible deportation to Assisted Voluntary Return and Readmission > Agreements – to return non-citizens to their countries of origin or > transit. These programs are variously framed by institutions and > politicians as managing migration, as humanitarian, and as justified to > maintain security alongside the integrity of larger asylum systems.
