November 2019: Ambulance - We hope for support!
Dear godparents, friends and supporters,
we actually managed to get a good deal for an all-terrain ambulance. It is a new car, which will soon start the journey from Gibraltar to Kenya.
We decided to buy a new car as it gives us warranty claims over a longer period of time and hopefully will not require any major repairs in the next few years. Also, we can be sure that the vehicle has no hidden defects.
Thanks to a major donation, the funding is almost guaranteed. At the moment, however, we still lack about 10,000 euros. Can you help us?

Thanks to an approved grant application of Sternstunden and with the support of the partner association Ubele (https://ubele.ch/) in Switzerland, the conversion / expansion of the main kitchen could be tackled.
The existing kitchen has long been too small for the number of meals that have to be prepared each day for the children of the children's village and the school, as well as the staff and teachers.

On October 16, Gudrun Dürr was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for her life's work in Nairobi.
The friendly association Projekt Schwarz-Weiß e.V., founded by her more than 20 years ago, initially consisting of only a few members and urgently in search of first godfathers and sponsors, has meanwhile become well-known beyond the country's borders. The Nice View projects in Kenya, initiated by her and her family, supervised locally and under a Trust Foundation, are a great success despite all adversities:

After almost 3 months in Germany and trips to, for example, Legoland or Switzerland, Joshua has been back in Kenya since July. Unfortunately, the hip bone is still not completely grown together, and he must not walk longer distances without crutches. But we are in good spirits!
He is currently in the 8th grade and preparing for the final exam.

Dr. Harald C. Gäckle from Ulm, together with his team, recorded songs professionally in the children’s village in the summer and shot the corresponding music videos. The children had eagerly awaited him as he had been in the children's village the year before and had taken first videos with the children. Something that was real fun for them.
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to publish these for legal reasons.
To avoid this dilemma, the children now had a year to write their own songs. We are amazed at what came out of it. The children can rightly be proud!
October 2019: Kahindi
Dear godparents, friends and supporters,
After Kahindi had a three-week contract with his former teacher as a painter, and during that time also lived in Diani, he decided to move out and stand on his own two feet.
He now runs a stand in Diani with his former teacher and paints and sells his paintings there. In addition, he has rented a room in Diani, which was equipped by Nice View with furniture. He can also always contact the ones responsible in Nice View if there are any problems.
We wish Kahindi all the best!

The camp was organized together with the organization TUNZA and offered this time:

The government of the appropriate administrative district has recently set up a girls' football team called UKUNDA STARLETS.
