Dear Friends
Iâd like to share a few snaps from the university graduation of our exceptionally talented Benjamin Kizito. Take a look for yourselves.
After all, without friends like you, these successes would not have been possible. But they are a perfect illustration of the saying: âWhoever saves a child saves the whole world.â
Benjamin has completed his degree
Benjamin is one of our first-generation talents. We recognised his special talent as early as primary school, for example in an essay competition. I could write a eulogy about him here â about his empathy, his sense of solidarity, or his great commitment to making the world a better place.
But heâs still so young and has his whole life ahead of him. So Iâll just leave it at that â congratulations. Congratulations on the hope that he and his equally wonderful siblings and fellow students may succeed in making their world and our world a better place. Thatâs what itâs all about. Thatâs why Benjamin is such a fervent admirer of Nelson Mandela, the great South African who made his country and the world a better place.
And: even if not everyone changes their country, we can at least change a few lives. Isnât that a good start?
With warm regards and heartfelt thanks from Benjamin to you, and from me on behalf of our charges!
Yours, Burkhard Varnholt
