Summer holidays in Namibia
A few days ago, it rained a little in Namibia for the first time in a long time. Not everywhere, but in Omaruru it was at least 20mm. Relief and hope that the rainy season will continue in January and February.
Advent bazaar helps 21 students in Namibia
Women from Pfedelbach and the Jagst Valley implemented many creative Advent ideas and organized an Advent bazaar to benefit the Namibia Support Association. Numerous unique and handcrafted works of art were offered to the public in the old schoolhouse in Oberhöfen. Over coffee, mulled wine, punch, cake, and Namibian bratwurst, many people from Pfedelbach and the surrounding area came to get into the Advent spirit and purchase a few things for themselves or to give as gifts.
The women spent many hours crafting and preparing, all for people in need in Namibia. Each of them who ate, drank, or bought something handcrafted at the bazaar supported the diverse projects in Okombahe and Windhoek.
The net proceeds were overwhelming! With the €2,100, we can support 21 students in need in the coming school year. For approximately €100, we can accommodate a young person in a student hostel for a year and also provide them with a new school uniform, shoes, and a new school bag for class.

THANKS
They were with us at the Beer Village at the Namibia Support Association!
Have you tried Windhoek Lager, Dju-Dju Beer, or a Rock Shandy? Have you tried the delicious Namibian sausage "Boerewors" and the corn porridge "Miliepap" with spicy or sweet sauce?
If YES, you have supported the needy Black community in Namibia. Thanks to you, we made a profit of just over €1,000. This entire profit goes directly to the village of Okombahe, with its soup kitchen and the further development of the children's environment, or to the two school projects to help needy parents pay for their children's education.
Thank you for your food and drinks!

Over Easter in Namibia
Margret Knoche has been in Namibia alone for the Namibia Support Association for one and a half weeks now. For five days, she lived very simply with Albertina, the head of the soup kitchen, in Okombahe and made many contacts with the local people. She knows from previous years that it's good to live alone for a while and with the people in their homes for an extended period. This gives her special insights into the lives of the people, which are very valuable for the further development of the association's projects. She writes about the openness of the people towards her – quite different from when she comes as part of a larger group of visitors.
