It was my first travel to East Africa. Since this time, I can not forget this land. People say, you love it or you hate it. One question bothered me again and again: Is it the land or the people that magically drew me?
For me, it is pure adrenaline, to see a tall giraffe, a dosing lion or all the other animal beauties right in front of me. I sometimes didn’t know, should I film or should I take a picture. I wanted to take everything of that with me. It was breathtaking!
Soon I noticed that there is a lack between the things I saw in the national parks and the real life outside the parks. But it was only after I saw the guide taking the rest of our packed lunches for his family that I realized how enormous poverty in Tanzania really is.
The need to help was born in this moment. I promised the guide to send some money in the Christmas time. There upon the family invited me and three month later I travelled to Africa on my own for the first time.
Today, after many journeys to Africa, I still see the beauty of the land, but I experience only infinite poverty, I experience brackish water that is drunk, I see equipment and tools that look like being out of Stone Age, I see great children eyes that are glaring in spite of hunger, I see myself and my friends in Germany for which this life is hard to believe.
I want to help and I ask everyone to support me and my organization.
