Hello!

My name is Gunilla, a Swede living in Malaysia, this is a website where I will share my knowledge of the developing world and how YOU can help.

I have always wondered over the xenophobia that exist in today's society not only in the west  but everywhere. I decided to find out why! I thought it was a good idea to start to learn history so I did.  3 years later, I had studied at Uppsala's University, Intercultural studies, Development studies and now I have started Human Geography. To tell you the truth I have not (yet) found out WHY.

Did you know that 70 % of the world's population live under 1 dollar/day? Do you know that YOU can make a difference. There are many courage's people who are working in the developing countries and their work can we support. I will  show you (and follow up) their work so you can see that helping really helps.

Please have a look at the pages and learn how you can help out!

Visit to a SOS village in Pune, India.

In 1998 my son and I where visiting friends in India. Since we had at that point 6 sponsor children in different SOS villages all over the world, I thought it could be a good idea to check one out in reality.

I remembered very well my positive feeling when I saw all this happy children. At once I felt, that the money we spend every month is worth every penny. In the village they have a proper home with a SOS mother (many of the children have lost their parents), food on the table, school and all kinds of activities like theatre and garden. All this give them an enormously feeling of security.

"Our" girl, Tanarum, has now left the village. When she and her siblings where in the villages their mother could earn enough money to be saved and  she has now started a small enterprise.
