I find it wonderful that the efforts of the children of Austria and Slovakia actually give a better life to the children of the slums of Nairobi. I am also very proud of the fact the Austrian Government and the EU stepped in to supplement what the children were doing. Most EU-sponsored projects in Nairobi consist mainly of building very beautiful buildings for use in education. In the Mukuru project there are no big buildings: all five schools consist of shanty-huts, built like the people‘s houses. Instead, the bulk of the EU grant is spent on providing basic teaching and basic facilities so that the children can be developed and eventually be responsible adults. I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation to Dreikonigsaction, KFS of Austria, the Austrian government, ERKO, Trnava University of Slovakia and the EU for the partnership we have shared, and for the wonderful results of our combined efforts. Together we have enabled thousands of desperately poor children in Nairobi to take their place in society. May such partnerships as this grow and flourish!
