Dear friends
Our kids would like to wish you all the best for the New Year with a little video greeting! Stay healthy and make the best of the still blank page 2025.
With best regards

Merry Christmas
Dear Friends
Christmas is on its way. On behalf of all the children and staff at Kids of Africa, I wish you a blessed holiday season, rest and relaxation, and a wonderful celebration.
Recently I read the moving story of Janusz Korczak, a paediatrician and director of an orphanage who, even in the direst of circumstances, sacrificed himself for his ideals and his charges. It is a story of light in the darkness and of the love that gives life its meaning. Is it therefore also a Christmas story? Read for yourself.
Everything flows
Dear friends
Life is like a river, as the saying “Panta Rhei” (“Everything flows”) goes. Always in motion, sometimes turbulent. This makes the start in life all the more important. But even a bad start can be followed by good things.
Fountain of life
Dear friendsIf water is the source of life, then a good well is its stapes. But for life to succeed, it needs more than just water. It needs a favorable overall constellation.
From the flow of life
Dear friends
Water is a metaphor for the flow of life, wrote our protégé Ronald Lubega to me a few days ago. A letter well worth reading, which you will find at the end of this newsletter.
