Unfortunatelly the Namibian Government stopped this project denying a further work permit to the funder and director. Many other projects in Katutura are still doing a great work with the children of the area. Thanks all of them for the marvellous support. To the kids of the neighbourhood: all best wishes for Your promising future, U guys are the best and You can really make it. Never give up!
