    Ich konnte mich bei meinem Besuch im November 2008 in Niamana vom Bau der Klassenzimmer und der benoetigten Einrichtung (Schulbaenke) ueberzeugen. Sowohl die Raeume selbst als auch die Schulbaenke waren bereits zum grossen Teil fertiggestellt und aus meiner Sicht spricht nichts gegen den zeitnahen Abschluss der Arbeiten. Bei ueber hundert Kindern in einem Raum und bis zu fuenf davon auf auf einer Schulbank ist der Bedarf einer Erweiterung deutlich ersichtlich. Zu erwaehnen ist jedoch, dass die Schaffung der Grundlagen fuer den Unterricht noch lange kein Garant fuer gute Bildung ist und die Nachhaltigkeit der Investion sollte, falls irgend moeglich, nicht aus den Augen verloren werden. So sieht man derzeit vor allem unterreichtsfreie Kinder ohne Beschaeftigung und dafuer gibt es selbst ohne Klassenraeume in meinem Augen keine Rechtfertigung. Raeume zu haben, heisst nicht das Unterricht darin stattfindet bzw. bringt nicht automatische eine gute Bildung mit sich. Es ist lediglich eine Grundvoraussetzung, die hoffentlich zu einer besseren Bildung der Kinder fuehrt.

    I know Mr. Nagler for a long time. We he explained me about his intention, vision regarding his project -> I have been impressed and decided that I will transfer some money as well. I have to say that this is the 1st time in my life ever! I 100% trust Mr. Nagler and his colleagues that they realize their mission and establish a better future for the mali kids. I have seen a few pictures already and it is amazing! Good luck to Mr. Nagler and his team

    The project is reliable, well structured, and supported by very enthusiastic people that I have known for a long time. Sustainability is ensured as it is none of these projects planned in a western 'ivory tower', but coneptualized and driven by Malian locals! Good thing to support! Go and visit the project!

    I visited Mali a few weeks ago and had the chance to get to know the people behind the Mali Initiative, Youchaou, Elise and Jürgen. We visited the first school Youchaou, an energetic local social entrepreneur, had initiated in a poor neighbouhood of Bamako and were greatly impressed. The school stands in stark contrast to most of the educational institutions in the country, not only being in a pleasant and well-equipped building, but also teaching enthusiastic children in classes consiting of 20, instead of the up to 100 students common in Mali. Youchaous work, supported by Elise and Jürgen, can make a real difference to the dire educational crisis in Mali, were the vast majority of children don't ever go to school at all.
