2023 We are impressed by the progress made over the last six months. The outpatient area is finished, apart from a few minor finishing touches.
2023 Heavy-duty shelves were built and integrated into the storage containers. We then filled the shelves with consumables and laundry.
2023 Hard work. 150 meters of power cable had to be laid and buried to operate the emergency generator.

Our electricians Uli Anton and Heinrich Rodegro made the impossible possible. On the day of our departure, the emergency generator was connected to the power grid.

Visit to the village of Koleima: Since the children of the village are among the poorest and the teacher wrote on bare walls, we brought a lot of school materials and blackboards for several classrooms on our second visit.
