In the summer of 2013 I had the opportunity to attend the work of the organization “Aktive Direkt Hilfe” in the Congo directly on-site for three weeks. The Congo as a country as well as the situation there are unimaginable for Europeans. Kinshasa, Tshikapa and the remote village of Mushapo close to the border of Angola are three very distinct places. I was moved by all of them in different ways. To describe in detail what the people especially in Mushapo are lacking would probably fill entire books. With its work as a non-profit organization in the Congo, ADH engages there, where (also in my opinion) is most hope - in the children. The work and especially the self-sacrificing manner of ADH’s team in the heartland of the Congo - for the project and the children - impressed me a lot.
