2008 in review
Baobab Family Founder Andreas Triebel visited Kenya
First charity concert in Kenya!
The well sinking in Homa Bay
Development in the Baobab Family Production
Current help needed


We summarized what happened in Baobab Family..s 2008 in an article on our website which can be read here: http://www.baobabfamily.org/Singlenews.31+M5f87ad28cca.0.html?&L=1

Baobab Family Founder Andreas Triebel visited Kenya
The founder of the Baobab Family, Andreas Triebel, visited all projects of the Baobab Family in Kenya. From 27th of february to 13th of march, he worked on initiating the start of the Baobab Family Village near Homa Bay and met several people to coordinate and ensure the transcontinental work of the Baobab Family.

The first charity concert in Kenya!
The first charity concert for the Baobab Familyin Kenya was in December. On Dec 13th the musician Nyota Ndogo and others were on stage in front of the Baobab Family Children..s Home in Mikindani to use her art to finance a borehole for an independent water supply for the Children’s Home. An accurate advice and pictures you can find on http://www.baobabfamily.org/Singlenews.31+M5f87ad28cca.0.html?&L=1
We are very proud of our team in Kenya, which organised the first time such a program and were directly successful.

The well sinking in Homa Bay
A second borehole which is drawn at the moment is on our land near Homa Bay at the Lake Victoria: After decelerations of the building plan, because of the politic situation in Kenya last year and the aftermath, we now want to go on further building the Baobab Family Village.
Estimated in June the first orphanage girls can move into the house, for the accommodation we need more godparents. It’s really easy to carry a godparent hood over for 30€/month on http://www.baobabfamily.org/Pate-Engl.404.0.html?&L=1

Development in the Baobab Family Production
For the news year our Production got the order for 500 school uniforms!
Also self printed T-Shirts were offered in Germany for the first time, which were sold very good. The curses in tailoring and screen-printing we afforded to the HIV-positive woman from our production in the year 2007, pays off over all expectations.

Current help needed:

- The monthly budget of the HIV-programm sadly is still not abiding covered. 340€ per month are missing for not to hark back to the ‘normal donations’. Although more and more Kenyans are questing for our support, which we can not give because of money. That’s the reason why we still need more godparents for this subproject of the baobab family.

- If some more persons would support our fundraising team, we would be especially happy: At the moment some volunteers are working on applications for appropriations of foundations and the EU. For the professionalism funded knowledge is missing…Who can help. Please write to s.barthelmes (at) baobabfamily.org

- All the time we are also searching for a possibility to bring donation baggage to Kenia for free. If thyself will fly to Kenya or if you have according contacts, we are looking forward to an e-mail to kontakt (at) baobabfamily.org!

We thank all of you for your support!
If you have questions, notes, critique etc. please write to kontakt (at) baobabfamily.org
