Friendship day
Today is friendship day. Since February this year, three of our Guardian Angel children - one should speak of young adults by now - have been living together in a small apartment in Windhoek.
Visit to the apartment
When steps for children founder Michael Hoppe was on a project trip in Namibia in June, he and our national coordinator Ulrike Mai visited the three girls in their new home. They share their apartment with Vendjii, a friend (here dressed in red) who has also come to Windhoek for her further training.
To support one another
Johanna, Clenda and Ndapeua help and support each other when they get stuck with their chores at home. Because together they are much stronger than alone. Right now at the beginning of my studies Clenda and Johanna and in the new courses from Ndapeuathat should help to improve the Abitur, there are many new faces, many new challenges to face in a new environment. It is particularly nice that they can live together as friends and are there for each other.
Cohesion in our projects
Sonja Schneider-Waterberg is always committed to ensuring that her protégés do not come alone into a new environment and can support each other. So there are at least two of them if they Guardian Angel Child go to a secondary school somewhere other than their home, as is the case with Uapandera and Perpetua who go to secondary school in Otjiwarongo.
We appreciate this strong social cohesion, which is promoted in our steps projects, especially by our project managers, educators and employees.
