Eddie Kroll vists Thugunui water project



rs. Today Eddie Kroll visited the water project in Thugunui together with family and friends from Austria. Since one year the locals of this area have access to fresh drinking water. The project is called "Schilling für Schilling" and came into life through the initiative of Eddie Kroll who wanted to create it as an act of gratitude for the survival in a serious boat accident in Kenya. Eddie was amazed how well the project is functioning. After giving out some presents for the local children and receiving a goat from the inhabitants, he descended the mountain to the Rhein-Valley Hospital and there also he praised the purity and order established by Ruth Schäfer and her crew. Soon he had to leave to catch a flight to Mombasa, his next station of his short African visit.
