Rwanda again

I found another video about Rwanda.


Hillsong - Hope Rwanda

Lets stay with Africa

AIDS is omnipresent in Africa. You can't get away from it. Although we are not working directly with people suffering from AIDS, I think that every project is confronted with the disease.

We are looking into starting some project with AIDS children in India.


Saving Africa

Rwanda


In August I went to Rwanda in East Africa. During my journey there, I was reading Merideth's book about Africa's history. It was indeed a strange feeling to read about Rwanda and especially about the genocide that took place in 1994 and now actually be standing on the same spots as brutal atrocity took place.
I have seen "Hotel Rwanda" which moved me then.
The people told me that the genocide was not a theme that people moved people anymore. They want to get on with their lives. However it was a recurring theme as we talked about everyday life.

Although Rwanda is recovering slowly, not only from genocide but also from poor governance and corruption. There is a chance for the country that things could change.

Instead of complaining our friends are trying to change the situation. Its difficult and slow and painful, but they are trying. We are trying to help them. Friends from Germany have helped to built two building that can be used as a clinic. Now we are trying to raise the funding for the clinic's inventory.
We need about 30,000 € to start the clinic and run it for one year.

If you would like to help, you can let me know.
Watch this! This is a good reason to become a Christian!
