2024 was an exciting year for us. At the beginning of the year, we traveled to Nigeria for two weeks to learn more about the issue of the so-called “witch children”. Now at the end of the  year - we are now back in Africa.

The year was a real rollercoaster ride, characterized by intensive preparations and many decisions. We had to present the project, secure the basic funding that would decide whether we could help at all, and familiarize ourselves with the culture - all in parallel with our everyday lives. It was a time full of challenges, but also full of growth. We quit our jobs and vacated our apartment. Patrick was also able to overcome a health challenge shortly before leaving the country thanks to a successful operation. 

But the best thing was the incredible support we received from our friends and families. Our friends organized an incredibly lovely farewell party for us, where we were able to say goodbye properly and gather all the important people around us. Our families and people from church supported us throughout. That gave us so much strength and showed us how much we can rely we have. Now we are looking forward to finally arriving here in Nigeria and starting our new adventure!
