Start the blog!

Hi all,

this blog will serve the publication of pices concerning the ongoing systemic corruption/theft in the local Lutheran Church of Tanzania and in particular in Makete.

Documents, like mails and correspondences from African media and stakeholders, as opinons and mails from the donor missions will be published.

The African part of the correspondence I am keeping in my hands shows, that there is a emerging self reliant society, which does not anylonger accept that foreign donor money frequently ending up in the wrong pockets is spoiling the democratic and fair local african development.

The blog should serve the exposition of a policy of hiding by beneficaries and donors, who built an alliance against the poor while using the pictures and stories of their plights to collect more money. Obviously there is a lack of professionalism.

Last but no least, it should serve self reliance and accountability through public pressure as it seems that the will of the Lutheran Church to change this unbearable situation is limited.

Most of it will be in German, as it serves a German/Austrian audience and much of the correspondence is in German.

I would be happy if others would join and I am ready to take up other participants to write.
