Condolence book

On June 28, 2021, “Milly” Melveryne Bock died as a result of her corona infection. The employees of the steps for children projects in Namibia, steps for children Germany and the board members of the steps for children foundation in Namibia have been working with her in Rehoboth since 2013. The news of her death comes as a great shock to us. It is with deep sadness that we look back on the years in which Milly wonderfully set up and looked after the Bridge of Hope project.

She selflessly served the Rehoboth community, helped the community's children survive and learn, she gave hope and helped thousands of families. Milly Bock has always put her own well-being above supporting others. With their professional and indispensable help and passion, support for children in Rehoboth has grown significantly. This great woman fought until the last hour. We admire Milly's life's work. Her death leaves a void that we will find difficult to fill.

We would like to express our sincere condolences to her husband, children and the entire family. In the midst of grief, we wish them to find what Milly has worked for all the days of her life: a bridge of hope. A hope that will overcome the darkness and pain of these days and weeks for all of us.
