A special evening awaits:
The event is open to all guests & interested parties! This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know our work and learn more about the impact of our projects in Namibia and Zimbabwe.
We will show a short film about our agricultural project in Ongombombonde and hear personal accounts from a former volunteer as well as one of our ambassador couples about their experiences in Okakarara. In addition, Foundation founder Dr. Michael Hoppe will report on current progress and challenges at the sites and give an insight into the future of steps for children.
Get-together with snacks & drinks
Before and after the official programme, we warmly invite you to join us for a get-together with snacks and drinks.
