A special experience in August: Agroforestry workshop

In August, four of our children - two girls and two boys - had the special opportunity to take part in a week-long workshop on agroforestry together with one of our employees.

During this week, they not only learned the basics of this sustainable cultivation method, but also had the opportunity to get hands-on. The young people discovered how trees, plants and agriculture can be in harmony with each other and what contribution agroforestry makes to protecting our environment.

The workshop was organized by the APN Agroforestry Promotion Network and took place at the Bethany Land Institute (BLI) in Uganda, where innovative methods for sustainable agriculture are developed and disseminated.

We are grateful for this valuable experience, which has given the children new knowledge, exciting impressions and the joy of interacting with nature.

LIVIA

My time at the "Home of Joy" children's home in Uganda was a formative and enriching experience. During my stay, I was not only able to make a direct contribution to the children's everyday lives, but also gain valuable insights into a different culture and way of life.

I helped look after the children, assisted with everyday tasks and organized playful and creative activities. I was particularly impressed by the warmth and joie de vivre of the children and the commitment of the staff. On site, I experienced a caring and supportive environment in which solidarity and mutual appreciation were tangible.

This experience broadened my view of the world and showed me how important interpersonal commitment is. I am very grateful for my time at the "Home of Joy" - it made me grow personally and I will always remember it.
