A Namibia fan from Hamburg

Some may wonder – what exactly is Tracks4Africa? There is an internet forum, namibia-forum.ch , that deals with Namibia, southern Africa and travelling there. In particular, interested Namibia fans gather here. One member has also found his way to us – Tews Koll. He is a great Namibia fan and became aware of us through the Aktivoli volunteer fair in Hamburg. Tews has now been supporting steps for children for more than 2 years. Unfortunately, he has not yet had the opportunity to visit our projects and stay in our guesthouses , but that is at the very top of his list for his next holiday destination.

Kellinghusen is not just an underground station in Hamburg

Back to Tracks4Africa... The initiators of the forum, now based in Kellinghusen in Schleswig-Holstein, organise a presence event once a year near Hamburg. Here they also provide foundations and other organisations with a small area to present themselves. So steps for children was also represented there by Tews.

This year, he held many discussions with interested parties and not only was he able to give away sewing products from our steps sewing room in return for a donation, but he also managed to sell items of Namibian origin from his own stock, such as wooden plates, drums, figures, carvings and other artefacts, in return for a donation in favour of steps for children. This raised a three-figure sum.

Dear Tews, on behalf of the entire steps community and all the children on site, we would like to sincerely thank you for your commitment. We look forward to welcoming you soon to personally visit our steps projects on site.
