Starke Kinder eV meets Minister of Social Affairs and Family Affairs of Burkina Faso

The adoption organization "Help a Child eV" hosted Minister Pascaline Tamini in Germany from October 30 to November 1, 2009. The purpose was to give the minister an insight into the social environment of Burkinabe children adopted to Germany. For this purpose, schools, kindergartens, and daycare centers were visited, and families with their Burkinabe children were invited to a meeting.

Chairwoman Bea Garnier-Merz also asked Starke Kinder eV to give a presentation about our projects in Burkina Faso and our work here on the ground. Our presentation to approximately 100 interested parents and the delegation from the West African country was all the more effective because Madame Tamini, in her speech beforehand, emphasized how well the children here in Germany are doing, but that we shouldn't forget the many other children in Burkina Faso who aren't so fortunate.
