Description
On 25 October 2010 Erk and Marion Thomson flew to Kigali, Rwanda, for the first time. Their destination: the convent of the Benebikira Sisters in Butare, where the nuns’ projects included the administration of a hospital. A parish in Hamburg supported the projects, and Erk Thomsen was representing the pastor, who was travelling elsewhere, to look at the matter on site. But that was when the couple's real commitment actually began. Both were touched and embraced by the country and its people. They wanted to continue to help, this time with their own projects, and there were many of them. In this book, Erk Thomsen tells of his encounters with a country and its people – and of the projects he supports.
