Landskapsfabrikken

I am really proud to announce that from now, and for years to come, I will be part of the fantastic Landskapsfabrikken in Norway. I will keep on my life and work here with Ga Yaw Ga Yaw at the border, but in stead of searching for a place to work in Norway every summer, I have a base, a really great base, with Andreas and Inge in Oslo. In time, I might also be able to combine the two on a more regular base, who knows. All I know is that I am really happy and proud to be part of two such great teams!

My organization through which I do the work on the borderline.
Org.nr: 994201743

The money I get through this organization all goes to the projects on the borderline. We are lucky to have got the Norwegian entrepreneur HENT as our main sponsor, and most of our Ga Yaw Ga Yaw buildingprojects are sponsored by them. It`s manly used for salary`s and food for the workers, materials and equipment. www.hent.no

I truly believe our policy to help people help themselves is the way to go. The local feedback on our projects so far and the group mentality among my colleagues is indescribably great!

I do however realize that it requires a minimum of needs covered before people can take action of their own development. For the kids at the local school across the river, they don`t learn very much if they don`t get at least two meals a day and can sleep in a mosquitonet to avoid malaria. That is also the case for the 70 kids at the dormitory in Mae La Oon refugeecamp who live there because it is the only place they can go to school. You can be the most dedicated student, but without food it is not easy to learn. And the story goes on and on...... I can not help everyone, but these to cases are kids and places I have followed through the last years. I try to support them every month, but I need some help.

Some places touches your hart more then others! For me, Safe Haven Orphanage (or direct translated from Karen: Big Mum`s House on the Rocks), is that special place. Few, if any people I have met, carry the name "Big Mum" so rightly as the lady in charge of this big family. Her name is Tasanee, and her authoritarian, but loving behavior as a mother and role model for the more then 60 children in her care, is no less than impressive. From time to time different actors are contributing, mostly through building projects, but also by donating clothes etc. Food and everyday needs are however not fully covered. To give an economical base, I have made a sponsorprogram for the children. This is of course done in cooperation with Tasanee. Sponsors in Norway pay 200NOK every month, and the money goes to the everyday needs of the orphanage. If you are interested in sponsoring for a longer period, please e-mail and I will send you the information and sponsorappointment for a year.

To put everything completely right, I will inform that for me, I don`t get payed to do this, but the sponsormoney pays for my plane ticket. For the rest I live of the money I earn during my holidays in Norway.
