Well built in Madagascar
Board member Jürgen Perteck had sent us the first pictures from Madagascar before the summer vacations. To see: The beginnings of well construction at a school initiated by him. And a few weeks later, Jürgen proudly announces the completion of construction work on the 42-meter-deep well. A total of 380 children are now supplied with fresh water. “Before, the water was laboriously transported by hand in canisters over long distances, over unpaved roads, through bushes and in great heat,” Jürgen recounts his impressions.
School bag campaign successfully completed
Just in time for the beginning of the summer vacations, Olli and Janine Drathen had collected unneeded schoolbags from fourth graders in Bonn. You remember: We had reported here. “In the meantime, these have been sorted and are now distributed to Ukrainian schoolchildren as well as to needy families in the region,” Janine tells us. Likewise, the donated team clothing from KWFitness Bonn – we had also reported – goes with us on our next aid transport and thus benefits people in Ukraine.
