We are very glad to be able to show you the first photos of the construction works of the home for 15 former child soldiers/orphans.

Thanks to the support of misso (International Catholic Mission), the project could already be extended on the admission of 120 children. 

A dear friend of mine Claus Schmidt passed away a few days ago. I had known him for more than 4 years and together we started a plan to build a "China Keitetsi Youth Center". The Center will finish in June and I thank God for waiting so that Claus could leave the world when the Center had started.

I will miss him but the most sad is, that I was in Africa when he passed away. I promise to stay strong so that I finish the Center for Children and this will make Claus happy where he is in Heaven. And untill we meet Claus - rest in Peace.

Claus's family will raise money to help my project in Rwanda in Claus's Memory. My deep sorrow goes on to Claus's wife and his Children and grand Children.

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of our beloved friend, honorary Treasurer of the association "Deutsche Förderverein Hilfe für ehemalige Kindersoldaten und afrikanische Kriegsofpfer e.V." (German Charity Aid for former child-soldiers and African victims of war e.V.) and Project-Coordinator

Claus Schmid, who passed away on Saturday, 11 January 2008.

May God rest his soul in eternal peace.
Our prayers and thoughts are especially with his wife, may God bless his family and loved ones and comfort them with strength to bear the grievous loss.
