Note on ADH's microfinance projects
Joseph made good progress in his work in Nsioni which is very encouraging to see how he invests the funds we gave him for this farming project. He made a gate for the farm, also built a boat for the fishponds and made a new channel to feed the ponds with water. ADH decided to start a new micro finance project with our local manager Jean. He needs support for vegetable seeds to make progress on his agricultural project on the Plateau de Bateke, East of Kinshasa.

"Change the world with love" is finally in print
A big milestone has been the finalization and printing of our book. After years of writing “Change the World with Love” in three languages (German, English and Czech), months of proofreading and working together with our graphic designer, the books are finally printed and ready for distribution! We hope that this book, in addition to all the work we can do on the ground, will help the people of Congo make great progress at the national and international levels.

ADH supports the micro-project of a long-time active friend in the rural area
We started a micro finance project with Joseph Nlandu, one of our first friends in Congo, to support his rice, corn and fishing project in Nsioni. Joseph is a very active and creative man, who is committed to rural development in his native region of Congo Centrale. With our support, he planted a new rice field and a new corn field, built a new fish pond and purchased materials with which he constructed two machines that will facilitate the peeling of corn and rice.

With the help of her friends, she has now completed the big school building and dorms for the young orphans in her care.

After a long time, we were finally able to bring seven boxes of brand new, high quality school uniforms – donated by the English International School of Kinshasa – to Madlen at the Kimbondo Orphanage.

Support in times of the COVID 19 pandemic
Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we would like to take this opportunity to address our friends and supporters - everyone who is reading this. We hope you are all well and healthy during this pandemic, which seems to be decreasing in some areas while it is still active in other parts of the world. Due to this particular situation we will refrain from our usual tour of Germany this year in order to avoid any spread of the virus. However, Wolfgang will try to call as many of you as possible - friends and supporters - personally. Already at this point we would like to say explicitly: We are very grateful for your loyal support, without which all this would not be possible. In the name of our school in Mabala, the headmaster Philemon, the 276 students, 15 teachers and 2 guards we thank you very much!

ADH meeting this year for the first time via video
This year's ADH meeting was dominated by the COVID 19 pandemic. For the first time, the annual general meeting in mid-July did not take place in person, but via video in the digital room. As sad as we all were about not being able to meet in person this year, two ADH members had taken advantage of this and were connected from their "holidays". Besides the usual formalities and future plans discussed in the meeting, there are two personnel changes to be announced within the association: We warmly welcome our long-time supporter Andreas Bödeker as a new team member. Jens Ottinger was elected to the 1st Board of Directors of the association Active Direct Aid e. V. and thus replaces our long-standing chairwoman Gabriele Lampater, who retired from her work in the association for personal reasons.
