** Try it with comfort, with peace and warmth that drives you place your troubles easy! "
This well-known jungle theme has until today to Uganda, Butiru even . in Elizabeth's office, pushed through and I must say, whether in black or white: It works
With young age of 25, freshly baked teacher, it has taken me, Eve, ended up in Uganda in this very remote village Butiru and me of the first second and won. In many things about description of the external circumstances of the tribe and the life of the Ostugander can I add my words of my predecessor, Magdalena.
I have learned through contact with other white people here, that one is infected by either the African fever or remain forever immune to the fascinating treasures and incredible drama of this country / continent! I'm infected and probably stay forever incurable.
With this letter I would like to take the opportunity to describe the varied work and cooperative implementation of the project Mwaka from my perspective. First there was only planned to use me as a certified teacher with big
in the two school complexes (Primary and Secondary School). So I stood with one piece Chalk, a scratched chalkboard.
a banana leaf as a wiping cloth and a bamboo stick as a "teaching method" in front of my 60-man class was to teach English without any further aid. The floor was converted
first fix the pointer, which came on the part of the new colleagues on some misunderstanding. Lessons without this instrument is considered here as typical white form of the
effeminacy. After my three months stay but I could convince ~ that African children with small verbal rewards and discipline to hard-working students.
have the students loved it after a hard day's work hard together a cultural Ausstauschrunde keep in was also very blunt and out freely about circumcision rituals, no sex before marriage and in the true sense of the world and his philosophy. These were moments that can revive the barren classroom and have brought me this far intensive teaching.
addition to the 1,500 students of both schools, the "Campus" animated, many other employees of the carpentry shop, library, kitchen and church, not to mention the hearts of the whole community - the Management Office. where Elisabeth daily using warm locals
track - also about the orphans work. small loans to widows and the construction costs for new schools reserves.
addition to teaching others then I have taken over his heart and soul in the orphanage office the placement and support of the sponsor program. Because of this donation program also supports many orphans from outside schools and the provision of parentless children in Uganda seems inexhaustible, I swam almost every day between heavy and fates of great help. I must be characterized by the intensive work with children, you also start as a donor and potential of this organization will have a Verständisruf.
In recent months, we lost some donors, who probably know this project is not good enough or even understandably Morale of the Africans can not judge.
Many of the children have to wear the unbelievably hard fate, and initially have problems to follow, the normal school course. They also make ignorant slight error in her letters as "Dear Uncle Gisela" or mix letters with the complicated German name.
also influenced by the relaxed attitude the missing employee in a cover photo or certificate provides a less dramatic. I ask this pardonable weaknesses not be regarded as too severe. I hereby give you the warranty and I have ALL children
had in my office that these eyes glow with gratitude! Although this wonderful Vision remains only for us here, believe me, that the aid will, despite some missing mail, photo or a few spelling errors and is vital!
During my stay I met a few Europeans who have explored the country and yet one could hardly keep up with what I had here to tell about our project. For what many in the country, I think, is not know that Elisabeth
in recent years (with the help of professional students and graduates) in most of eastern Uganda and organized here in the District large school complexes and built has, say donations from Germany has brought together (with the help of the German Children's Foundation in Africa from Hamburg,
BMZ Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation, bingo and RTL), and attempts to establish the many schools in the surrounding areas right class rooms, kitchens and even the teachers homes. State schools in the area are 200 students per class, often grossly overcrowded and need urgent assistance. Some teach even under trees. Thanks to the ongoing inspections of the construction progress with Elisabeth, I can really see and experience and the inner core of the country. Says Elisabeth including schools has built deep in the (hard to reach during the rainy season) mountains, which are still inhabited by tribes of ancient cannibal traditions. All of these corners und Insiderinfos über einheimische Traditionen und Klanrituale bleiben den meisten Touristen in Uganda verborgen.
Ich danke Elisabeth und dem "Gefolge" an lieben Menschen hier in diesem einmaligen Projekt für die unvergessliche Erfahrung und die tolle Zusammenarbeit. Es gibt weiterhin viel zu helfen und dennoch sollte uns Musungus (Weißen) immer wieder bewusst werden, dass die Hilfe vor Ort geplant und geschehen muss. Die meisten vorherigen Erwartungen und Vorsätze müssen hier in Afrika nochmal neu überdacht, erarbeitet und manchmal umgeworfen werden, denn es ist und bleibt eine ganz andere (faszinierende) Welt!! 
Sincerely
