Health hut, kitchen garden and family-friendly work with arts and crafts
Thursday, May 16, 2024
The health movement initiated by Dr Leila* was continued by Dr Senta Siller from 1993 under the title One Baby-One Tree.
The village NGO's water project financed a deep well that made the tested water available to the villagers.

To remember from the beginning
Wednesday, May 15, 2024
In 1991 the film Amjads Village (see Archive www.dgfk-archive.de ) was made by the DGFK e.V. and premiered in the Babylon Film Theater in Berlin. A young doctor, Dr Leila, was inspired to provide basic medical care in the village between 1991 and 1993.
Between 40 and 50 patients came to her every day!
Even after her departure (she lived in the USA, New Zealand, now Australia) she financially supported the emerging BHU (Basic Health Unit), now with its own building.
She was followed by Dr Elizabeth from Melbourne (she received an Australian Order of Merit), Dr Karola (she received a German Order of Merit), -
Three village girls traveled to Dr Ruth Pfau in Karachit to train as LHV. The nurse Marlis from Switzerland, who also worked in the Cameroonian subsidiary project and received a medal of merit there, continued to run the BHU.

Salt and fish MEMORY
Friday, April 12, 2024

Time with a friend
When mobility decreases, memories increase and reveal special experiences with a friend in Pakistan.
Driving through the landscape together again - it would be nothing compared to the past, the experiences.
He drove with us to Khewra in the Salt Range. The mine was not accessible at short notice due to an official guest. So we climbed the mountainside, which took some of the air out of our friend, who was smoking at the time. The three of us reached the plateau and enjoyed the beautiful view of the flat land in the distance.
Another time we visited his home village and saw his friend and mother in the rural atmosphere. We dined together and slept in a small room - the sky was starry and the air was pure and clean. The place - we forgot the name.
Through a friend who had written a lot about special tourist regions, we came across a hydraulic structure from the British period on one of our tours that provided water supply to the southern Punjab areas.
A trip to a majestically flowing watercourse was unforgettable; On the shore, a fisherman invited people to eat fried fish. It was so delicious - we rarely had such a wonderful lunch.
How nice would it be to get together and share memories...
