The art space is open again

[:de] Even in the new school year, art classes in Okakarara should not be neglected. Our two weltwärts volunteers, Doro and Leonie, now once again take care every day of a different kindergarten and/or preschool group, and paint and craft with them all kinds of things.

Swing, numbers and lots of fun

[:de] Caspar Grimme has been a volunteer at the project site in Gobabis for three weeks now and has already settled in well: „From the very beginning, everything worked out smoothly and I was received and taken in very warmly in the project.
