Our Foundation – a meeting space for Europe and Africa
We strive to create a bridge between the two continents that rises above differences, preconceived assumptions, fear and everything that is destructive…
A meeting bridge
In order to meet someone truly, one has to stop, look in their eyes, listen to them, hear them and then respond.
The building of a bridge is not an easy task. It takes years and requires sacrifice. One has to have a clearly established goal, sufficient funds and most importantly a group of people willing to work hard.
Every step will be a source of joy and strength, especially when it seemed impossible to cover yet another meter.
