The reasons for the association - friends of Africa
My wife and me grew up in the post-war period in Germany in a socially
thinking and acting families. Our parents did not belong to the
wealthy social class. Nevertheless they were always ready to help
poorer people.
My
wife and me are very gladly to have only experienced peace and prosperity.
We never forgot to be thankful that we in our home country can live
so much better than most of other humans all over the world do.
And we did not forget that after heavy times of war our country
got so many help by Americans and by a lot of other people.
The unfairness of the world and the poverty in the most backward
developing countries are large. We always had to take note of it
with large sympathy, with full powerlessness and with great indignation.
We began to donate money to well-known relief organizations. We
saw however still no possibility for a personal commitment going
beyond that.
Our attitude changed by our journeys into different countries of
Africa. We began to love this continent because of its characteristic
and its friendly people. We considered what kind of personally activities
we could undertake in order to help people in Africa.
As best-agers we now live in a situation comfortable enough to
have time to enjoy a lot this involvement. We are sure to use our
remaining lifetime for a really meaningful activity.
