AMPO Ouagadougou
AMPO summer holidays
The children at the orphanages set off to visit their remaining families, an important event to maintain contact to their roots.
It is a long-standing tradition for Katrin to hand out sweets to the children - let the holidays begin!
So what goes on at the orphanages in the meantime? You could think that the place is silent and deserted.
Not at all – the space is still put to good use.
Over the next few days the wheelchairs that have been specially designed for children are distributed, sponsored mainly by our AMPO partner in Denmark.
And then come the families (mothers and fathers) of children who AMPO also supports. They are here to register to apply for payment of school fees, or part of the school fees, for their children. In the scorching sun and soaring temperatures they struggle for every cent on behalf of their children.
The holidays have got off to a good start for the AMPO children, but not for the AMPO staff by any means.
You really are a great team!
