Part of our association’s philosophy is to maintain direct contact with the people in Kenya. This is the only way we can get to know and understand the mentality, needs and talents. Our President Erich Kühnis cultivates this exchange on three trips a year. In September, he was accompanied by our Board member Eveline Alder. As treasurer, she is very familiar with the project and all financial matters.
“What is particularly pleasing is how much all project managers
are dedicated to the people!”
Beide kehrten begeistert vom Projektbesuch zurück. Die Angebote von Tagesklinik, Schule und Kirche ergänzen sich, die Zusammenarbeit aller Beteiligten ist sehr gut. Sie stützen ihre Arbeit auf drei Säulen: Bildung, Gesundheit und das seelische Wohl. Erich Kühnis sagt: «Man merkt, dass ihnen allen das Projekt eine Herzensangelegenheit ist.»

Eveline Alder says: “It’s particularly pleasing to see how much all the project managers care about the people!” A therapist visits the day clinic every Wednesday. He is currently treating eight children, some of whom are severely disabled, with physiotherapy on a voluntary basis. As soon as the extension is finished and operations start in January 2025, we will have more opportunities to provide appropriate therapeutic treatment for paralyzed children or children with spasticity.
