In the Children's Home of SALEM-Uganda, many children and young people live with a difficult fate. Here you can read the story of little George, who, despite his bad start in life, was finally able to experience love and attention.
The year began in our SALEM project in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad with lots of snow and extremely cold weather. What worries adults due to rising energy costs was great fun for the children!
The little kids were also born in January. Here too, the children enjoyed helping to care for the animals.
It was with great sadness and consternation that we learned of the death of our dear Dr. Steven Tuunde, who had been closely associated with SALEM-Uganda since 1987.
A report by Samuel Müller: Recently I made my way to Togo to visit our project there. The last time I was there was in 2017. So it was high time to see it again and talk to the team on site in person.
We always try to reintegrate our children into their original families by looking for relatives who are able to take care of them. Thus family visits with social workers are carried out regularly. During one of these visits we discovered that the siblings of one of the children in our children`s village were also being neglected.
The name SALEM is derived from the Hebrew word “Shalom” and means “Peace”. Peace is the main motivation of the SALEM-work. After traumatic experiences during the war and in captivity SALEM Founder Gottfried Müller decided that from now on he will put his live in service to God. Never again would he want to bring harm to people, animals or nature. Since 1957 our organisation has been operating in this spirit. People of different nations, colours, religions and origins are working together in our projects - and it works!
