Under the leadership of the Eritrean Association for the Physically Disabled in Stuttgart e.V., we were partners in a project that was completely new to us and to everyone else involved: at the same time, a 40′ container was loaded in Freiburg, Stuttgart and Hildesheim with relief supplies for the Eritrean Association of the War Disabled and Physically Disabled (EWDVA) to Massawa.
Our task was to send 290 bicycles, spare parts, specialist books and office supplies. With the support of the Labora youth workshop, a large quantity of bicycles was collected. The books were brought to us directly from Mannheim by Cahsai Tewelde and Habte Ghebrai.
The container was loaded in 2 hours and was able to continue its journey to the free port of Hamburg.
The 3 containers will then be transported from the port of Massawa in Eritrea to Asmara. EWDVA operates workshops there – so the people working there have a lot to do.
