My visit to far East (!) Germany During my stay in Berlin in September-October 2004(see report) I visited former East Germany near the border of Poland with Dr. Klaus Roeber and friends. We attended church services in two villages and had the opportunity to be invited for lunch by one of the families of the village. It was a pleasant surprise. Our host was
a former blacksmith of the village. He lives with his wife, son and
daughter in law (something unusual in Germany I think). Though they
are renovating their old house I saw well maintained workshop of the
blacksmith (this could be a model for Indian village blacksmiths I
thought). I also saw a water hand pump installed just like in
India. They have a courtyard and self sustaining garden with
chickens and compost. The food was excellent. God bless the
family in their endeavour. I sincerely thank Dr. Roebers for his
initiatives and for sending photos. Visit of Alice Strittmatter of Gossner Mission Berlin
This is my first visit to India and my first visit to Vikas Maitri. I must say I am very impressed by what I hear and what I see. Now I am looking forward seeing some of there projects outside of Ranchi. All the best for your future. Alice Strittmatter, 01.11.03
