Hello together,

I never thought that this will happen, but Eddie (from El Shadai Home) visited Germany at the first weekend in January.
He got invited by a Dutch to spend his school holiday in Netherlands and in January they came to Germany.

We spent a great weekend in Nuernberg, thanks to Susanne and Sven!!

It was an unforgetful reunion!

Oh, Eddie brought me again batiks, cards and baskets from Uganda, which I sell on my homepage.

Best wishes
Meike

Hello my friends,

I had a booth on the Christmas Market in Reinheim (Germany) last weekend. I sold Ugandan crafts (batiks, bags, cards, neclaces and clothes) and food (Mandazis and Samosas). Here you can find some pictures of my booth.

Thank you to all buyers and supporters, a special thank to the mayor of Reinheim who generated about a third of the revenues.

I earned about 600 Euros at the weekend, what made me very happy. I informed immeadiately the El Shadai Family.

Best regards
Meike

Hello,

a colleague of mine wrote something about my stay and my experiences at El Shadai, because the topic of this Blog Action Day is Poverty.

Please have a look at his blog.

Thank you Darryl!!

Take care,
Meike

Hello together,

since Saturday noon I'm back in Germany.

I arrived safely even with growing pain in my whole body during the flight because of the stress I had the whole week and with saying goodbye to everybody.
It was really hard to say bye to everybody ... but I know that it was not my last visit of Uganda and all my new friends.

EVERYBODY in UGANDA - I REALLY REALLY MISS AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

And for everybody who wants to see my pics from my stay in Uganda here are the links:

My last days

I had a great and wonderful time and don't want to miss this experience and all the people I met.

I don't have any more words at the moments but a big lump in my throat.
Take care!
Meike

Hello everyone,

sorry that I again didn't write for a long time, but we had a lot of sick children at home.

And yesterday we just came back from a safari. It was amazing.
We saw a lot of wild animals, like giraffes, elephants, water buffallos, a lion, a leopard, hippos, rhinos, monkeys, crocodiles.

Today we go back to El Shadai and on Thursday, my birthday, we go rafting again and we will have a birthday party in the evening at the place where we sleep after rating.

Thousand hugs
Meike
