New Zealand had been on my bucket list ever since I first watched The Lord of the Rings. One day it actually happened. I sold a golden coin to pay for the flight and headed to the land of the long white cloud.

Endless roads, quiet lakes between hills, and Matamata — where Hobbiton felt like stepping into a story I already knew.

On Ninety Mile Beach, I stood barefoot on black volcanic sand. That moment became my profile picture: my foot in the sand, somewhere between arriving and moving on.

Looking back, it wasn’t just a photo. It was the first step of many journeys to come.
Longer blog post is coming :).

Give warmth – receive warmth. 🧡 On the nights of the Tanzanian plateau, the Maasai protect themselves with colourful blankets – a symbol of strength and community.

This December, my association would like to pass on this warmth: With a donation of €100 or more to our educational projects in Tanzania, we will raffle off 10 original Maasai blankets from Tanzania as a thank you.

Each blanket represents a connection – between us and those we support.

Shortly before the start of autumn, I traveled to Tanzania for a short visit to see family, friends, projects and schools. 10 days, that was my shortest trip to Tanzania yet since my first time in 2019, so it felt a little rushed. But since my centre of life is back in Berlin, with a new job at TARUK and my wife staying with me now in Berlin, it is what it is, just a short holiday trip.
In short: I met my grandfather in law and we spend some time talking about his life as pastoralist in his clay hut. I went to see a handmade market in Arusha and met my friend Mama Hokororo, who is doing handmade batik and other nice fabric products.
In the function as the chairman of my German association, I visited also our partner schools and projects near Karatu. I had a good time to speak with the headteachers and students who are under our support with scholarships.

Thats all for now, and I can't wait to go back next year.

In Germany spring is slowly paving it's way, all the grey becomes more colourful and the temperature more likeable. During my absence from my second home there is now rain season in Tanzania and nature is starting to get more green again and recovers from the long dry season. The house I rent gets some renovation and the guest rooms are going to be prepared for some future guests and friends who want to spend time in Tanzania.

For everone a happy new year and success with your ideas, dreams and projects in 2023. Last year was a good year with new work and new experiences at Chamäleon Foundation, which allows me to be in Tanzania for a good time in a year. Also my own project here is growing and shows its first fruits which makes me proud and shows me it was the right change in life. Four our girls the year started with a juice making workshop, also we had some child progress talks with the parents and the last days before going back to school, we supply everyone with necessary school materials to have a good start into the new school year.

For this year my goal is to get my NGO depend only on donors and a little farm, to add more girls for better education and develop first stages of vocational training for single mothers.

Merry Christmas to you all, enjoy the time with your family and friends, wherever you are. I send greetings from my sunny and rainy place in Karatu.

Finally, the rain season is here in Karatu and its much appreciated for all those who have farms. Other benefits are that you don’t need to clean your nose every evening from the dust anymore and our water tank is also full again.

For the girls I support, they are now in holiday until early January. I have attended their school celebration and graduation and I’m happy about this year results. For holiday they will see their families and attend some extra tuition like mathematics, which was highly requested but we also offer cooking class, family planning, English listening skills and sport & games to make their time interesting and helpful. The contract for the new project house will be signed soon, and then we start with some small renovation to be prepared for next holiday in April.

Besides from my charity business, I still work every day remotely for Chameleon, look also for a new place for me to stay in Arusha and so the time goes and flies and I’m looking forward to a few more quiet Christmas days.
