ORFANOTROPHIO WHIRLING WIYA

I was in Guinea in 2013 and it is one of the places that has stayed closest to my heart. To this day, I have heard back from some of my friends who live there, who have been enthusiastic about resuming contact so that we can support this orphanage together. We are currently conducting an on-site survey to understand the current needs of the children in Kolkende Wiya.

LAND CULTIVATION PROJECT

One of the biggest problems in Africa is the theft of land by foreign investors who, having driven out the local farmers, exploit that land to produce goods for export. In 2015 I was in Robe, the capital of Bale, Ethiopia, to write a dissertation on this very topic. The first thing to do will be to contact the local agrarian authorities again, with the aim of setting up a project to grant farmers the rights to use their native land.

ENCHANTED VALLEY PROJECT

As a child, when I watched ‘Searching for the Enchanted Valley’, I didn’t realise how much Piedino’s ‘Little Leaf’ resembled a maple leaf… Canada, that land that calls to me, that makes me long for its mountains with their endless forests and wonderful lakes… here I want to find local collaborators for a school project, I want to set up schools where the native peoples can have access to their culture, to rediscover their roots.
