The Container which left in January fully packed Switzerland, arrived in April in Congo, and is now ready to be opened.

You can find us in Selo on the main road N1, between Kinshasa -Matadi.
(coming from Kinshasa = 14 km after Kasangulu on your right)

We will report soon about the official opening on 30 August!

Working very hard on our little business on the N1 between Kinshasa-Matadi (harbor). It will be to 2/3 a snack bar and to 1/3 a shop.
A place to meet for truck drivers!

A Snack-Bar with Toilettes!!

The Container arrived in Congo and left Matadi on 

5 April 2014

Véronique and me did not just fill the container, we also helped to 
emptying it.

Christoph and Crispin (on the right) spent 2 days in Matadi and waited until they released the container.

500 meters before the truck arrived at the center he got stuck in the sand. So we had to carry everything to the center but we had a lot of help.

As a thank you for the great work, we gave them a black cap.

After the container was emptied, we place it a few hundred meters away from our center on the main road N1 (Kinshasa-Matadi). Soon it will be transformed into a shop/snack bar.

Letzten Freitag trat er seine Reise mit dem Lastwagen nach Basel, weiter mit dem Zug nach Rotterdam und danach mit dem Container Schiff “Estelle” in den Kongo. Wir danken allen für die tolle Ware und den Support. 
Ein Dankeschön auch dem Lastwagenfahrer  der uns diese tollen Fotos von dem Transport schickte.

 DHL Freight Buchs stellte uns den Standort/Parkplatz für unseren Container ein paar Monate gratis zur Verfügung. Mitarbeitende von DHL Freight Buchs / DHL Logistics (Schweiz) AG  - haben Material für uns gesammelt und Werbung gemacht.

Ganz herzlichen Dank für alles!
