The idea behind assistance in Africa

I had the idea to found an association for humanitarian projects in Africa 3 years ago. During our journeys in Africa we were astonished by the beautiful sceneries and the animal life. At many places tourists can see the sharp contrast between the huge poverty and the misery of the African population. Without assistance from foreign countries and organisations, only a small number of people could free themselves from misery.

Through the contact to our West African drum teacher Soriba Sylla and after my first visit in the year 2006 in Guinea the idea was put into practice. After an intensive exchange of ideas we together founded our association.

Soriba Sylla is very grateful to be intergrated and warm welcomed as a new German citizen in the Federal Republic of Germany. With his brilliant ability to play Djembe he is able to earn a living in Germany, but not in his home country Guinea. He knows the life in poverty by own experience. He grew up in a West African village far from the beaten tracks.

He did not forget his childhood and he is highly motivated to help children without real chances for a regular school attendance in his home country. On the basis of his secured life situation in his new home country and with the support of our association, his desire became reality.

Also myself were eager to do my own share to help Africa. To achieve this, it is absolutely necessary to know trustworthy local people.
