Celebrating 130 years together

„We'd love to do it again.“ Britta and Marcel Damberg are convinced by our work in Namibia and are once again committed to education and future opportunities together with their guests.

Celebrating 130 years together

Britta and Marcel Damberg have several reasons to celebrate. Together, the married couple reach 130 years: 100 years of birthday celebrations, as well as their porcelain wedding anniversary (after 20 years of marriage) and 10 years of supporting the steps for children foundation. These are three important reasons for the Dambergs to celebrate properly with friends and family. The celebration took place at Restaurant Chagall in the nationally renowned Kunstmuseum Ahlen art museum. With a total of 90 guests, they enjoyed the best weather in the “most beautiful beer garden in Münsterland” with good food and conversation.

The Damberg family has already hosted a celebration in aid of steps for children on several occasions. Eight years ago, they celebrated their birthdays together and were delighted to receive many meaningful gifts: A birthday with a special purpose

Britta and Marcel Damberg were already on site in Okakarara in 2013.

A brief report by the host couple about steps for children and the trip they had already taken to Namibia and to the steps location in Okakarara rounded off the joyful celebration. 

Instead of gifts, guests were encouraged to donate to steps for children and the children in Okakarara. The guests did not take long to respond: All in all, a considerable donation was made!

Dear Mrs Damberg, dear Mr Damberg, we would like to thank you and your guests most sincerely for your renewed, wonderful support for the children and young people in Okakarara!
