In 1995 I moved from Germany to Burkina Faso, West Africa, in order to found a home for street boys. I called this very first house « A.M.P.O. » (Assocation Managré Nooma Pour la Protection des Orphélins). « Managré Nooma » means Kindness is never forgotten in the country’s native language. I strongly believe in this saying until this day. From these small beginnings an organisation has developed, which is also called « Kingdom of the poor » within the population. All institutions have grown out of local necessities and have not been planned at the round table. We are exclusively financed by private contributions. We are small and efficient, and this is exactly how we want to stay! In this poor country it is still possible to help a lot with a little. Now about 150 girls and boys belong to our projects. Their age ranges from 6 to 18 years and they are orphans, half-orphans, abandoned children, and boys from the street – all live and learn together. What started as a small home, grew into a long term institution. I did not expect this to happen in 1995, though it is obvious: Kindness is never forgotten. » (Read this and more on AMPO Sahel eV).

Women living under Muslim Laws WLUML had 0n February 24, 2004, an International conference, organized by Women in Black, Belgrade and the Women’s Center, Leskovac.

As part of the emancipating, internationalist, anti-fascist women’s peace movement, we maintain the tradition of marking the 8th of March – International Women’s Day: for women’s labor rights, for women’s solidarity and for women’s human rights. During the war period (1991-1999), Women in Black organized anti-war and anti-regime demonstrations as well as many other activities. On the occasion of March 8th, 2003, Women in Black, together with Women’s Studies and Filonus, the Students’ Association of the Philosophy department of Belgrade University, organized an international conference in Belgrade (on March 7th, 8th and 9th), entitled “Let us globalize solidarity and social justice”, as well as many other activities, involving more than 100 women from Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. At this conference, we agreed to organize activities marking the 8th of March every year. In accordance with our policy of decentralized activities, mutual support and solidarity, it was agreed that Women in Black, Belgrade and the Women’s Center, Leskovac will organize all activities for the occasion of March 8th 2004, with Leskovac being the center of activities, with the full support and cooperation of the women’s peace network.
