A donor trip to our project areas gives supporters the opportunity to see the work on site for themselves. Nine of our supporters from Germany were able to experience various project locations in Namibia up close in mid-November.

 For some, it was not the first project trip, including Anton Rathgeb, who has been providing steps with wide-ranging support for nine years. For him, as for others, the personal impression counts. It was also heartwarming when the children spontaneously came up to him and the joy they radiated, Rathgeb said.

For many, the personal experience gained on site from the people and children in the projects is one of the reasons for travelling to the African country. For four days, our supporters and sponsors were able to visit eight of our projects and partner projects, such as Boomerang (Windhoek) or Light for the Children (Gobabis) with us.

The highlight and at the same time the conclusion of the tour was the outing with the Schutzengel children to Etosha National Park. For the children in Okakarara, a great dream came true. To see the wild animals in their own country, which they only knew from books - that was what the children had wished for. Thanks to some of our supporters, we were able to fulfil this wish. The children’s eyes were full of excitement and curiosity on the day of the outing. Their joy was especially great when they saw the huge elephants for the first time.

We would like to thank our sponsors from the bottom of our hearts, who made this outing possible in the first place. They gave the children an unforgettable day.
