Dear friends, a quick note about the link: Yes, it's another gardening project in Gambia. And no, we don't have a secret passion for African radishes – it just happened that way. Alpha, 24, formerly a student, then seriously ill with tuberculosis, was saved thanks to German doctors, but his lungs have been working more or less on "part-time" ever since. His mother cared for him so devotedly that she kept postponing her own eye surgery – until it was too late. Today she is blind. So Alpha now manages the household, including his 10-year-old nephew Demba. We suggested a mini-gardening project. The result: Alpha built a fence against the voracious neighbor's cows. Demba dug like a champion. The blind mother sowed each seed with Zen-like precision. The cows provided the fertilizer – very generously, very regularly. Seeds came from Germany. And suddenly, Bavarian radishes and turnips are bestsellers in Gambia. Globalization can be so delicious. Cost to us: €180. Benefit: A family that can provide for itself. Challenge: Alpha carries each liter of water 300 meters. In the Sahel. Several times a day. That's fitness, just without the protein shake. If you don't have any euros to spare – no problem. A short comment, a compliment, a "Well done, Alpha!" works wonders for his self-confidence. And yes: The Facebook group is one of our many groups through which we advise people in developing countries. It's worth taking a look.

🌱 Garden Project Gambia – Alpha now has a hose! Sometimes it's the little things that make a big project suddenly seem much bigger. That's exactly what happened in our garden project in Eastern Gambia: The garden hose has arrived! For many of us, a garden hose is just an inconspicuous piece of plastic. For Alpha, however, it's a real game-changer – almost a technological quantum leap. Until now, he had to carry every single liter of water 300 meters. In the Sahel. Several times a day. Anyone who has ever carried a bucket knows: That's not gardening, that's a workout that would make even professional athletes sweat. But thanks to the generous donations of our members, Alpha now has a tool that noticeably makes his life easier. No more daily water marathons, no more involuntary bodybuilding sessions – instead, he can finally concentrate on what really matters: further developing his small garden, providing for his family, and tending to the famous "Gambia radishes," which have now achieved almost cult status. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this little miracle possible. Sometimes a garden hose doesn't just change the garden – it changes the whole life behind it.
