I will miss the evening light and the view over Windhoek

On Monday, I was back at my school and, as often, spent the whole school day alone with my class because the teacher had to go to the doctor. The kids were, as almost always,...

This week, unfortunately (maybe still), my body gave up again. I had to deal with stomach and intestinal problems and a cold. Nevertheless, I desperately wanted to work,...

After my trip, I was warmly welcomed and it was nice to see the volunteers again. From Monday to Thursday, I mainly helped Jeannie in her kindergarten by painting or beautifying...

Sunrise at the camp

Since I didn't have any internet in the desert the last few days, you will now receive the complete report of the last 4 days. Don't be confused by the times, I always wrote the...

Um 5:30 klingelte mein Wecker heute morgen, wovon ich allerdings wenig mitbekam. Dank meiner inneren Uhr wachte ich zum Glück trotzdem um 5:45 auf, um um kurz nach 6 mein Taxi...

Day 1 Sunset at the promenade

On Wednesday, I went to the kindergarten with the twins again, where I worked for a week. But I noticed that I also wanted to do something extracurricular, so I went back to the...

My class doing stilts

1.5 weeks in my new project have already passed, so I can now give a first impression. As I mentioned before, I am now working at a school for visually impaired children, which...

Let's get started!

Thursday to Saturday, I painted at Hope Village every day. It is a children's home consisting of several houses. Actually, we only had to paint the baby house and the toddler...

Hello dear ones, I haven't been in touch with you for quite a while, which is because nothing really exciting has happened. Last week, I only worked from Monday to Wednesday...

Today, spontaneously, the five of us drove to Okapuka. Lucas, a friend of ours who doesn't live with us, could only drive us and then had to work. Okapuka is only about 30km...

This week was very exciting for me with lots of ups and downs. Monday evening, after another boring day at work, I had a long conversation with Mom. We talked about how unhappy...

Masterpiece completed 👍🏼

Wow. The last two days were impressive. So many different animals - this is Namibia, this is Etosha! The national park covers an area of ​​22,275 square kilometers, making it...

Friday morning, 7:50 am. After just one week, I am back in the truck. This time we are on our way to Etosha National Park. It is 430km from Windhoek to Okaukuejo, where our...

The school is still not improving. I am very bored and don't feel needed or useful. I am still not able to communicate with the children effectively using sign language. At...

The first month has already passed and flew by 😊 the other volunteers have become friends for me and I am glad that they are here with me. Today, after two weeks of vacation,...

After another night in Maun, we traveled 320km to our final stop in Ghanzi on Wednesday morning. Ghanzi is located in the Kalahari Desert, near the border with Namibia. Our...

On Monday morning at 7:30 am, we set off towards Maun. After a very long drive, we arrived at our camp around 6 pm. After quickly setting up the tents, we jumped into the pool,...

I have Wi-Fi at the reception, so I quickly report to you about today. I woke up too early again (6:15 am). Somehow, I don't sleep well here and usually not for very long....

Traditional Face painting

After successfully crossing the borders of Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, traversing the 70km long Chobe National Park and observing giraffes and elephants on the side of the...

We arrived at the "Ngepi Camp" around 2 PM. In the middle of nowhere, directly on the Okavango River (Kavango and Cubango are just different names) and located between the two...

Once again, we arrived at our new camping site around 4 pm, which is right on the border with Angola ⛺️. That means we are in the very north of Namibia. Super super beautiful,...

On the top (slightly windy 😉)

11:30 am Namibian time, which means 1.5 hours delay 😉. Salsa music in our ears. Let's start our 12-day trip to Victoria Falls, through Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. I'm...
