Nakupenda Africa was started by Anja Kirschner and Tay Kruger.
We wanted to make a difference to the children that live well below the
poverty line in Africa.
Tay was born and raised in South Africa and has traveled extensively around Central and East Africa. “It really made an impact to me to see that these children have nothing but hope and an overpowering urge to learn.“
Anja was born in Germany and traveled to South Africa where the plight
of children touched her heart “I was really affected as I saw the
enormous will to learn of these children but the few possibilities they
have”
Our Views
With our donors help we hope to achieve an understanding of the
greater knowledge for the actual unity that we share as people and not
the difference of tribalism and ethnic groups. We as humanity have to
come to terms that we are all stuck on the same planet and no matter how
many wars and conflicts we have against one another we can’t just
up and leave. We don’t need bureaucrats, we need humanitarians ……..
We are still hurting one another whether it be through violence, gross
negligence of human rights or simple economic policies. This is not the
time in our lives when we should be consumed by greed, we can sort this
problem out REALISTICLY in max. 15 years. There is an easy solution to
these problems, EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION!!!!!!!
THE POINT IS SIMPLE!
In this time we would like to document the change in the “New Africa”
concentrating on the restructuring of society with the rapid introduction
to the “Globalisation of Africa“.
Our project is about capturing the change in culture and music through
education, and the lives of African peoples who want Africa as a whole
to be what it should be recognized as, The birthplace of humanity, one
of the richest continents of natural resources and Culture so diverse
it takes a lifetime to only half understand, which makes me a special
person to have been born in Africa, to have the “ Spirit of Africa“
pumping through my veins.
There is no place that I have traveled in the world which has been so
accommodating as the African People who I have a great connection with,
for some part of me that feels half African. This is what inspires me
to make Africa the continent the strongest it can be. The only way is
through Education and the self realization that Africa is a power that
the rest of the world is going to have to recognize as being the one who
has the control of the resources that the so called “First world“
so desperately need, which if African consortiums got together to buy
back all the natural resources that are at the moment all owned by multinational
companies, then only will Africa succeed!
Our intention is to give the children the opportunity to get in contact
with the rest of humanity at an early age, because it is unfair that so
many children in Europe and America have so many more advantages than
children in Africa hungry for the knowledge they so rightfully deserve.
In this way we could teach the children the benefits of education. Education
is the way forward and the children are the future, how they see the world
at large, while still young makes a significant difference to the future
of the continent as a whole. It is every person in the “ western
worlds” responsibility to understand what it is like to starve not
only from hunger but also for knowledge. To see the amount of wealth that
the western nations have to waste and to sit and have the feeling that
if this does not effect me directly, to think, WHY should I care about
something that is happening in some place I have not even heard of?
The truth is that this kind of thing affects everyone on this planet.
We as humans have a responsibility to each other! As the recent events
such as the Tsunami in the Indian Ocean, this catastrophe brought the
attention of the world together. So we should do the same for Africa.
It has taken almost two years for the global community to even recognize
the crisis in Dalfur, Western Sudan and Niger at the moment. With the
help of the western world these situations could be solved, though it
is a lot harder than to just talk, one has to be hands on in these issues,
for me to be there with the children, the absolute future of the “
New Africa “ will in my eyes make a significant difference to all the people we meet. It is not only a challenge of the
heart but also the mental and spiritual aspects too!
Education is the key towards an African future!!!!!!!!
