Sometimes, or by now it’s actually most times, I have to travel in the rain. It’s always heavy rain that doesn’t last long but quickly floods the road and I have to stop to seek shelter.
It’s not that I don’t like water, but it doesn’t have to come from aboce when I am on my bicycle. I do carry a rain coat but it’s usually at the bottom of my bag. I have to rearrange my luggage as soon as possible and put the rain coat on top because it is raining season after all.
I always look to find shelter where I can wait for the rain to be over. But sometimes I can’t find anything and I have to just wait in the rain.
When I think of all those places on my journey where I had sought shelter from the rain
… under many porch roofs of little shops where the owners pestered me with questions
… a school full of 200 giggly children
… an abandoned kindergarten littered with old toys
… under a thatched roof that didn’t hold off the rain and I got soaked anyway
… under the porch roof of a bar where locals offered me homemade liquor which I refused of course
… a little shop along a mud road which filled up quickly with many people seeking shelter as well, too many for the little shop and it was quite a unique odour experience.
Sometimes I just waited underneath a banana tree because its big leaves are a wonderful shelter from the rain. And other times I pitched my tent quickly and crawled in there to not get soaked.
Today I didn’t get soaked, but I am very tired … too tired to brush my teeth!
I wish you a wonderful sunny day
Yours NALA

NALA gibt Hoffnung.

NALA gibt Hoffnung.
Das NALA Projekt entstand 2013 -2016 während einer 16.000 kilometer Fahrradreise bis zur mitte Afrika´s.
Getrieben von dem Gedanken, die Welt zu erobern und hinter die Berge zu reisen, beschloss ein kleines südafrikanisches Mädchen, ihren Träumen zu folgen.
Sie verließ ihr sicheres Elternhaus und folgte den Wolken und den Sternen von Südafrika bis nach Kenia.
Während Ihrer Reise traf sie André, einen Fahrradfahrer aus Leipzig.
Zusammen lernten sie viele helfende und freundliche Menschen kennen, darunter sehr viele Künstler, die NALA auf ihrem Weg durch Afrika malten, schnitzten und aus Metall schweißten.
Es entstanden bisher ca. 160 Kunstwerke von mittlerweile 115 Künstlern aus 15 Ländern.
Die NALA Projekt Webseite wurde seitdem von Menschen aus 157 Ländern besucht.
2014 stolperte Jennifer Karch Verze über die NALA Webseite und lernte damit viele Namibische Künstler kennen, die beim Imago Mundi Kunst Projekt mitmachten.
http://www.imagomundiart.com/
2016 vermittelte Das NALA Projekt 2 Malawische Holzschnitzer zum World Wood day nach Nepal.
Dieses Jahr konnte das NALA Projekt gleich 2 Kunstprojekte mit afrikanischen Künstlern verbinden.
1. Der World Wood Day 2018 in Angkor What, Siem Reap, Kambodscha
Naze Abdou, entdeckte die NALA Webseite, und fragte nach Künstlern, speziell Holzschnitzern aus Afrika.
NALA vermittelte somit Holzbildhauer aus Zambia, Tanzania und Malawi. http://www.worldwoodday.org/
2. II Weltgipfel der Künste für Frieden und Leben in Quito, Ecuador
Renato Reúl Ulloa entdeckte die NALA Webseite und fragte ebenso nach Künstlern.
Das NALA Projekt vermittelte somit auch viele Künstler aus Tanzania, Kenia, Uganda, Rwanda, Äthiopien, Eritrea und aus der Schweiz.
Wir hoffen nun auch in Zukunft auf künstlerische und friedliche Freundschaften zwischen Menschen aus vielen Ländern dieser Erde.
Bis bald
