For months, the need has been increasing in many countries because grain prices have risen immensely as a result of the Ukraine war and many of our own fields have remained dry due to the climatic dam” said the Austrian on his Instagram account. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6906281##Baumgartner founded his own school in eastern Uganda. The “Christoph Baumgartner Training School” is located in the municipality of Budaka. Private tutors mainly teach young mothers to give them a better future.“I recently founded a school where young women in particular receive an education after they had to drop out of school because of pregnancy or didn’t have enough money for it. Often they have great callouses to feed themselves and their children. Hairdressing and tailoring courses are currently running with 77 participants. More courses will follow in 2023. If you are interested in helping in Africa as well: I will inform you about concrete possibilities in the future” he wrote.TSG Hoffenheim complete training of Bundesliga Youth Ambassadors in KenyaIn Uganda, poverty has increased and many people have died of starvation.
